Default Early turbo owners - lower side lights

One thing that’s always bugged me are the terrible side lights, the lower lights where the turn signals are. Mine are very dim, not sure whether they’re all like that or whether I need to replace . Can I ask for pics of other guys with the lower lights switched on, this may of course be the most useless request as the exposure time of any photo will increase the light. Thanks in advance . I’ll fire up a pic of mine later.

What year is your car? Mine is from 2012 and those lights seem bright to me. Can you increase the aperture speed to reduce the overexposure when you take your picture?

It’s a 2010, looks way more dull in the flesh, they just don’t seem as bright as they should be. 1st world problems indeed

Ah, at first I thought you meant that they were dim in their function as driving lights / turning lights. I thought they were decently bright for that and was confused.

Now I see that you seem to mean that they are dim in their parking light mode. Hmm, I'll take a closer look at mine, I guess I hadn't paid that much attention before this.

Sorry , might be a language difference . Over in the uk, the lower lights are called side lights due to them being the switch position before main beam. Would be good if the rear lights could be coded to come on with the 4 dot lights as they are much brighter.
