This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Manufacturers should simply hard wire them permanently on like the Canadian version cars do.....what's the downside, being more visible and oh ya, changing your bulbs every 4 or 5 years........

My car had this when I bought it but I didn't want to leave it that way, as I figure the Bi-Xenon bulbs could use the break

There's a way to jump two fuses in the fuse box that will use your low beams as DRLs (always on when ignition key is turned on).

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I tried to search for any info on this.... Is there a "hack" for DRL's on our 996's?

POST 3Original post

Just turn your lights on!

POST 4Original post

Personally, I don't understand why there's a switched headlight at all. Manufacturers should simply hard wire them permanently on like the Canadian version cars do.....what's the downside, being more visible and oh ya, changing your bulbs every 4 or 5 years........

POST 5Original post

I hear you liljohnny, only even with Canadian cars only the DRL are on, not taillights.....which is even sillier if you ask me. All on, all the time, off with key.

LINK to DRL hack

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah, US DRL's are a 1/2 way good idea, should have been wired to all the lights at reduced output. Too many half wits that don't remember to TURN ON THEIR LIGHTS AT DUSK. (Having almost been hit by someone driving with NO LIGHTS at NIGHT) AND, I read about some morons occasionally who DEFEATS the DRL's shuts off the lights.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
