Re: Head lights come instead of day time running lights
That black "bulb" in the defrost vent under windsheild is the sensor for your daytime/headlights. If it's covered it would cause this. It would also happen if it's too much in the shade.

dull head lights cab be from several things
1-bad reflectors behind the bulbs --any yellowing, rusting or dull reflector surfaces -- replace head light assemblies
2 badly aligned head lights-- beams shining off into space instead of on the road. --- have an alignment done on the lights
3 wet roads do not reflect head lights properly so it appears that the lights are not working well--- not much to do. the light reflects forward of the wet surface and not back to the driver
4 only one head light or no main beams and running on low beams only--- check light operation and check light control module for operation
DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS IS THE WAY THE FACTORY MAKE ALL NEW VECHICLE.THATS MANDATORY.ITS A SAFETY FEATURE FOR ALL NEW CARS SO YOU CAN SEE ON COMING CARS LIGHTS. BY HAVING DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS IT HELP CUT DOWN CAR ACCIDENTS. IF YOU TAMPER WITH HEAD LIGHTS YOU COULD FAIL NEXT STATE INSPECTION. DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS HAS TO BE ON ALL THE TIME.
YEP ALL TODAY CARS COME FROM THE FACTORY WITH DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS WHICH STAY ON WHILE YOU DRIVING.IF LIGHTS STAY ON WITH ENGINE OFF YOU HAVE A FAULTY DRL RELAY OR DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS RELAY.YOU COULD HAVE TURN ON HEAD LIGHTS MANUALLY FROM THE SWITCH.WHICH WILL CAUSE HEAD LIGHTS TO STAY ON.
Many of the newer cars, especially the upscale luxury models have what is called day time running lights. It is normal my 01 buick has the lights on all the time.
sounds like there is a problem with the day time running lights my does the same thing but because i installed HID light so i no long have day time lights try changing headlight bulbs if not then its a short
i drive a 2000 chevy suburban, the way i turn off my running lights is i push the dome over head lights button four times and u will hear a ding and that indicates that they have been turned off. I usually wait for the suv to start up then i press it four times to make sure i hear the ding!!
