Headlight Question
Hey guys. I keep my headlight knob on Automatic at all times. On occasion I'll notice my right cluster inner lamp turns on at night but my left one does not. Are there times when both lamps in each cluster should be on? If so, when and why can't I manually turn both on?

Those are the cornering lamps. They both come on when you put the car in reverse and the headlamps are on. Otherwise, they come on individually when you're going below 25 MPH and you use the turn signal or when you turn the steering wheel at low speed.
They illuminate the edges of the road in the direction you are turning. Mike |
