Thread: Uncooperative Headlights

My headlights don't turn off when I put it in park. Does this indicate another problem, or am I just doomed to overspend on bulbs?

In the daytime, when they function as DRLs. it's completely and utterly normal. The 2020 Cadillac XT4 loaner I have now does exactly the same thing. And it should. You don't need DRLs if you're not moving.

overspend on bulbs. you dont need drl during daytime either.
you could just reach up on the turn signal lever and turn off the headlights

you never said drl's, you said head lights.

During the day, the headlights are the DRLs. It doesn't do it at night. I apologize for the lack of clarity.
