Default 997 Daytime Running Lights

Hi,

Just wondering, when you start the car, are the headlights just turned on like it would at night, or is it dimmer? Just wondering if the Bi-Xenons will be fired all the time or not. If it is, then what happens when you turn on the headlights in the car? Just the interior instrument light turns on?? Confused.

I don't know my xenons are on all the time. Though the little **** *** running lights looks like **** becuase they produce yellow light.
They were bunrt out and during my service, so they replaced them and thats when i noticed that they really suck.

If your car is equipped with the bi-xenons, they will always be on (yes, as your daytime running lights). When you turn the lights on via the switch, you activate the dash and rear lights. This setup is not like other cars where the DRLs are the high beams with lower voltage.

Are you talking about that little bulb that you can see in the 996 Xenons? So that and the Xenons are on? Strange...
