Very strange...why do you have parkers?
I only have the LED DRL's!
In the headlight assembly it just has a chrome "plug / bung" where a bulb should go.
That was the same as my previous Titanium also!

Couldn't tell you why I have parkers, I thought this is normal?
I do know that the DRL's automatically dim slightly once any form of headlight is turned on though.


On a side note with the Auto Highbeam from previous posts, I worked out the other day by accident that if I were to turn on either of the front or rear Fog Lights it will automatically deactivate the Auto Highbeam from working. Obviously this is to compensate for real fog!

Same here as ope126 - dimmed DRLs functioning as park/position lights, and a bullet-shaped chrome "blank" inside the headlight below the high-beam bulb.

I guess the wiring for the park lights must still be behind the headlamp, just with no bulbs installed. If DRLs and projector lamps were ever an optional combo in Europe it would explain why that exists. I think I read that ADRs limit the number and placement of parking/position lights, so for AU-spec cars they disable (omit) the extra set of parkers.

As to why you had pre-existing bulbs, maybe a previous owner added them?

The battery-saver turns interior and boot lights off after a few minutes of a door being open on mine.
In fact I'd like to reprogram it to leave the interior lights on a bit longer, as it keeps leaving me in the dark!

Not sure why they would have been added previously, they were only little 5W T10 Globes.

Another of life's little mysteries!
