Canadian 2004 X-Type DRL query
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi All,
Can anyone tell me what is the normal status for DRL (daytime running lights) for a 2004 Canadian X-Type?
Should the low beam headlights always be on, or just the small (much dimmer) lights that are inside the high-beam headlight enclosure?
For the last two years, mine functioned as per the latter example, but after some recent electrical work (including cleaning many fuse box contacts, having the battery disconnected for some hours (ECU reset?)), now my lowbeams are on whenever the key is on...is this normal for this model?
I do not desire the new behaviour. For example, when driving through a campground at dark, I wish to be able to turn the lights off and not blind other campers. I'd prefer to have control over my headlights.
Appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Julz.
