Rear Tail lights - Is this right???
Have a question related to tail lights.
My outer light bars are on with the DRL on like this picture shows. https://www.dropbox.com/s/izz2qcj76m...03.49.jpg?dl=0 But when my headlights are turned on, the only rear lights are the inner light bars like this shows https://www.dropbox.com/s/mh6h4obe1h...04.11.jpg?dl=0 My tail lights don't seem to come on at all??? They would be single bulb below the outer light bars. Does anyone know what is going on here? I know the bulb is working because I can turn them on with coding (Carly) if i turn tail lights on for DRL, but I want them on when I turn the headlights on.

No, that's not right. The 3 bars on both sections should be on for the rear DRL and when the parking lights or headlights are on.
The light bars are the tail lights. The section below the light bars are only brake lights (two bulbs per outer side).

Also when i code the tail lights on for DRL one of the bulbs below the outer bars come on, so I though that was the tail lights??? Both those bulbs come on with the brakes. |

Something is messed up with the coding options. That's not how it should work.
Which options did you change?

I had the DRL customization for EU cars, changed to US cars, and now I can get both sets of light bars (inner and outer) to be on with the headlights, and I chose to have only the inside light bars on for DRL, I like it this way. I guess I don't care about the tail light bulbs below the outer light bars.
I do know that something is not right though, probably has to do with the fact that my car is pre-lci, but I have LCI halogens installed with AE. Originally the car didn't have AE. When I turn AE on as DRL, that is what turns the rear outer light bars on as DRL. I forget at the moment, but I have to turn either side markers OR corner LED on as DRL to activate the AE. Screwy, took some trial and error to finally get what I wanted.
