The one you would have seen if you had your headlights on? :rotfl:


I presume they were DRL also.

No as quoted earlier def. main beam headlights

The reality is that the driver probably was not aware of their lights being on and had knocked the stalk. In daylight, the blue warning light is not very obvious. If you have auto lights then this is an easy mistake to make. Also daylight LED running lights are extremely bright though they are usually obvious from the various shaped designs used.

You could see over the retina-incinerating glare of the headlights? :rotfl:

I knew what you meant, some cars have the standard liughts as DRL, doubt Mercs do though, if the light switch is on a similar wiper stalk type switch?

where did you get the Merc bit from? (dreaming or simply making it up?)

evidence?
my money's on DRLs which on more and more new vehicles are headlights not some lower-powered separate bulb.

Why not get it repaired then?

Why would you think there is something wrong with it? It's meant to be like that.

Not headlights, no - DRLs (new cars) or sidelights (Volvos since the beginning of time) but your DIPPED BEAM or MAIN BEAM or FOGLIGHTS shouldn't be always on, you control them with a switch.
By the way, anyone complaining about their Auto headlights coming on too often and 'thinking about' overriding them, just do it! You're in control of your car!

It's a Volvo and the dipped beams come on if you turn the ignition, it's meant to. Sidelights can be turned to and double as parking lights so would be on even with the engine off, stop talking rot.
