Can someone please help me figure out why my drls automatically went on tonight with my low beams as well as my fogs? I always leave the switch set on auto but never had the drls also on at night. I tried turning the lights off as well as the car but when I turned it back on same thing. No luck so far. Any suggestions?

It looked like the drl. It was a faint light inbetween the low beams. But anyway why does this happen?

I believe it's to show the width of the car to oncoming traffic when one headlight is out, just a common practice now on all cars.

i know they would look sick but ive yet to find decent LEDs that won't blow out, thats why im skeptical about changing them. I ordered led puddle lights from Vled, one burnt out within 2 weeks. ofcourse they took care of the problem, but its still just annoying and a hassle to deal with.Originally Posted by Phresh2010
switch your parking lights to leds to they wil match the hids

I read another reason the parking lights come on with the low beams is to fill out the other half of the headlight assembly. I got V-LED SMT 5K LEDs, matches the OEM HIDs pretty well. But my Garax 6000K bulbs just arrived so I'll have to swap them out again. :/

Haha so it was the parking lights? I replaced all of my headlights with white leds (Low beams and fogs are 6000k). In mid day the white led drls look so sick compared ot the nasty yellow ones.
