Daytime running light module and system
First Claim
1. A vehicular light control module connected between first and second light bulbs and a parking light switch and a turn signal switch, wherein the parking light switch and the turn signal switch are additionally connected to a power source, wherein the first and second light bulbs each include a dim filament connected to the parking light switch and a bright filament connected to the turn signal switch, wherein said vehicular light control module comprises:
- a first light intensity switch connected between the dim filament of the first light bulb and the parking light switch, and further connected between the bright filament of the first light bulb and the turn signal switch;
a second light intensity switch connected between the dim filament of the second light bulb and the parking light switch, and further connected between the bright filament of the second light bulb and the turn signal switch;
said first light intensity switch connecting said bright filament of the first light bulb with the power source; and
said second light intensity switch connecting said bright filament of the second light bulb with the power source.

Abstract
A daytime running light module for controlling the illumination of dual filament bulbs that act as vehicle parking lights and turn lights. The daytime running light module includes a pair of switches that are interconnected between the front vehicular lights and a power source to control the light emitted from the vehicular lights of the vehicle. The module operates to control when each filament of the two filament bulb or system is illuminated, such that the brighter filament of the bulb will be illuminated when the operator wishes to draw attention to the vehicle for safety purposes. The module may either automatically or manually control the light output as desired by the operator.
