Odd warning notice
 

While on the highway today, I noticed an odd warning notice in the message center;

Bulb Failure
Position Light

I checked all of the exterior lamps when I stopped, and everything seemed okay.

My question of course, is what's a position light and where is it?

RE: Odd warning notice
 

The position lights are the Taillight bulbs. There should be 2 small lights lit on both sides. They are next to each other.

Thanks very much. When I looked at it earlier they all seemed okay, but I'll take a closer look.

I just picked this car up on Monday and one thing I've noticed is that my lights seem to be on all the time when I'm running; There doesn't appear to be a difference with the headlight switch on or off - even the dash lights are on when the switch is off. Should this be a concern?

RE: Odd warning notice
 

That is normal. It is the Daytime running lights when the switch is off. And Headlights when it is on.

Thanks again. It struck me as odd that there seemed to be no difference, particularly the dash lights being on.

In canada we all have daytime running light, my volvo the headlight switch does nothing, all lights are on all the time. Trust me this is a good thing. Not only can people see you better, you dont have to worry about turning lights on and off. My last car was the same. I dont think I have turn the light switch on a car for 5 years now.

Sure enough; Outboard passenger side. I gave it a little wiggle & it light up just fine.

The daytime running light thing still strikes me as a little...different. I had a '99 Chevy Silverado that had automatic headlights. The daytime running lights were on all the time, but the dash lights, etc. would only come on via a dash-mounted sensor when there was sufficiently low ambient light. I've never seen a vehicle that has all lights on all the time.
