Thanks guys , but my problem is the parking lights, they are ALWAYS on, the DRL, the dealer told me that could be turned off, but they were not sure about the parking lights.When the car goes for the first oil change, they are going to look at it, but thanks for all of your imput.
Leading evidence: 'parking lights, they are always' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'parking lights, they are always' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check fuse/connector box diagram' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Perhaps the dealer programmed your car to have daytime running lights on--I'd check with them.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all
My 2004 C2 lights are always on, xenon and the parking lights,meaning soon as the key goes in. is there a way so that i have full control over them, via the light switch.I know that i have to turn the car off and remove the key and then they go off, but i park alot on the phone coffee ext...so i hate the lights on
Thnaks in advance
My '04 C2 lights are controlled by the light switch to the left of the ignition. Perhaps the dealer programmed your car to have daytime running lights on--I'd check with them.
The Canadian origin 99 I bought worked that way and no one could figure out how to disable them. My 01 came without DRLs so I added them on my own but using only the 5W bulbs in the litronics housing.
Since I don't believe that Canadian cars are different than US in any way but the DTRLs, there must be a simple connector or something in the fuse box. I know that was the case with the Canadian 964s...but that was a long time ago..

The 99 I had did have a difference in the wiring loom behind the relay panel and a complex (internal circuitry) DRL relay. Removing the relay also disabled the litronics full time.
My Canadian-origin '01 also has DTR. Dealer said they could change it for me if I want, but I didn't ask how complicated it would be. They made it sound like a fairly simple fix.
FWIW, the other two vestiges of Canadian origin are the analog speedo, which is in kilometers, and the in-dash external temp gauge, which shows Celsius. I haven't even thought twice about the analog speedo -- I never look at it. Dealer said they couldn't easily change the external temp gauge. Oddly enough, the dealer was able to switch the AC control to Fahrenheit.
