Melt housing
When setting the drl to turn signal, both filaments light. The heat will melt your turn signal housing. (If they are regular turn signal bulbs, not LED).
When you need to change the bulb you can’t cause the housing will be melted.
I learned the hard way.
QUOTE=sipafz;1120070]I took another look at the DRL and found that I did change the setting yesterday. I didn’t see the change because I had the parking brake on, so thanks to BaddestCross for the heads up on that!
I choose the “Turn Signal DRL” and found that the front signal light is very bright, just like when the signal if flashing.

I thought it would be more like the parking light brightness.

I guess it makes sense that you would want the light to be brighter and more visible for safety, but can the bulb handle the additional amps on a continuous basis? I guess time will tell.
This DRL mode also turns on the tail lights. The side marker lights remain off, so maybe having a “parking light” option that would add the side marker lights would be a better approach?
If I have bulb problems, I will ask the developer to look into the parking light possibility.[/QUOTE]
