Default Turns used for DRLs

I used my procal to set the front turn signals up to be daytime running lights, it seems as though they run hot enough to warp the housings. I have been through two LH bulbs already and it is from water getting in and shattering the bulb. Looks like they will be turned back off, shame though, the Crush looks cool with the amber markers lit up.
I didn't search but this can't be the only occurrance of this.

Sounds like a good idea, just think about converting to LED and your heat problems and lamp life problems go away.
