Strange DRL behavior issue
I have an 08 is250 RWD
Can somone explain which bulbs are the daytime running lights? Is it the high beam bulb just in low power? There's an additional bulb inside both high beam housings. What is that used for? My issue is that the driver side DRL is not consistently working. For example it was working one morning when driving to work but in the middle of the drive it cuts off. Sometimes i've noticed if i switch the headlights on and off it will bring it back. I took it to the dealership and they reccomended i repalce the high beam.
Also while my driver side high beam is not working.. i turned on the high beams while parked close to my garage door. It appears there's some light that turns on in the drivers side even though the high beam is not functioning.. sounds impossible but not just seeing things..
