“Not my vehicle, but on other vehicle on the road. Numerous time I have happened upon a newer Lexus rx 300 (2002 or 2003 model??) with no tail lights, traveling along public roadways well after dark. In a recent incident, I was on a multi-lane freeway and had a chance to pull along side a Lexus rx 300 with no tail lights, glancing over at the driver compartment of the rx 300, I noted that the dash/instrument lights were on! And, the daytime running lights (dlrs) were providing some forward illumination for the vehicle. …”
