Should this be on all the time?
So, I don't know if this is a issue or if I'm just forgetting things.
The parkinglights or whatever you call them: They are on all the time when my car is running, it's on whether I have the light switch set to 0, the parkinglights or the halfbeam lights. Is this the way it should be? Here is a video of it: https://streamable.com/mljg6 |

That's not the way it works on my car - the LED on the switch panel is off when the switch is set to 0.

There is a proceedure that works for Volvos after 2000 - copied this from another thread. Give it a go, it might work for you if your lucky.
to on/off DRL put light switch to the Center position , (sidelights > Green LED ON) Switch ignition key to position II (Drive, but Do Not start the engine) Pull Main beam lever towards you and Hold it there, Turn light switch to 0 release main beam lever DRL should now be "OFF" To turn them back On for winter / murky days do the Same steps. |

On the X40 the so called DRL lights use the dipped beam headlights, so you either have the dipped beams on all the time or off apart from when you turn them on at night. The little side lights are only used for parking.
