Sidelights

Feb 28th, 2003, 23:05

When you turn the engine off but still have your sidelights on, the rear lights stay on but the front lights go off completely, is this norm? It wasn't on my 360. Any ideas on the problem?

Your front side lights should also be on, if not start checking bulbs....

Hi.

This is correct. Check your sidelight bulbs, they will have blown.
The reason you don't know they have is because when you are driving or the ignition is on, you are using the DRLs. (Daytime Running Lights). These use the main bulbs on 1 sixth of their normal brightness in the 400 series cars. The side lights them selves may be on too, under normal circumstances, however with eth DRLs on you wouldn't be able to see the sidelights due to them being only 5 watts.

The sidelight bulbs are very easy to swap out.

Cheers,
Dan.
