I could swear I read somewhere that it's actually a 50% duty cycle.  It's
not in the EVTM or the Wiring Diagrams, maybe I read it in the Helm's.

Anyway, many years ago I considered installing the DRL in my '91, but I
never did.  I've always wondered what if any effect it has on headlamp life.

FWIW, I had one headlamp go out in 12 years of ownership; I replaced the
other one at the same time.  I had 1 front marker lamp go out and I've never
had to replace a turn signal bulb (f&r) or a brake light bulb.  I've never
had to replace any of the interior lamps either.  Luck O' the Irish I guess.
