Thanks, nice to come onto a discussion forum ask a legitimate
question and be called an ass. Let's be clear I am not trying to stir
anything. Let me be even more clear once more for the hard of understanding. The
manual supplied by the manufacturer indicates that with the
rotary switch in the off position - forget Auto, that was NEVER part of
my question, that the 'Daytime Running Lights' come on with the ignition. I
am pretty sure (because I checked, that when I first got mine), just
the front sidelights DID come on by themselves and later I noticed that
they were not doing so anymore. I was interested to know if anyone else
had seen the same. That's SIDELIGHTS, the two little candle powered weak lamps next to the wings. Not the headlights.
I
don't care one jot whether they do or not, I am just trying to
establish if I was mistaken. All it takes is for one person to actually
have this on theirs and the point is proven. The manual has a section
called Daytime Running Lights. It does not mention the use of the auto
function in that part. That is described elsewhere. Repeat, I get the auto function. Headlights. Yep, got it.
There
is a dedicated fuse slot in the fuse panel which says DRL. There is
fuse in that slot. So, I can't see how that isn't a legitimate question
and why I should be lambasted for asking it.
If you're happy with yours. Cool. I have an enquiring mind and would like to get the bottom of it.
Tis Me, that is very interesting though about the headlights being dimmed as such. I haven't noticed that. Nor have I seen the front full lights on in daylight without the rear ones being on. I shall check that out. I believe that is what's called 'helpful' Thanks.
Thanks for being so welcoming. By the way, bate is spelled bait. Take it or leave it.
So far very pleased it with. Little niggles with design, but everything working, getting solid 26 mpg driven hard. Even had it to the top of Benan in Dumfries and Galloway. Followed a Defender and a Disco up there. DPF functioning quite normally. Nearly 10k on the clock. Not bad for a free car.
