Just noticed this, i know all the bulbs but what is number 28? Maybe i am just missing something

Wow, I can't figure which of those little bulbs goes where. When I tested lights last night, there was the little marker lamp which does not flash, and then the turn signal below the headlight. What could a third bulb be?

Wait, just remembered, last night I saw my wife drive off at night without the headlights turned on, the high beam DRL's were on, but were dim. Maybe that's it, but I didn't see the bulb when I looked in the housing. Lets check the owner's manual.

There is a parking/marker light in the corner and a signal under the head light.

Go turn the parking lights on, then tun the hazards on... you'll see it.

Maintenanceman

Yes, number 30 is that corner/parking light, 14 high beam, 15 driving light (low beam), 37 amber turn signal light (this is also hazard if i am right).
I dont have that DRL function what you guys have, some European thing i guess.

What is the part name?

Maintenanceman

The bulb and the socket is missing from the list.

That means it is not part of the year/trim that you input to the search. The diagrams show every possibility of part for all trims, but the list will remove parts accordingly.

Did no one consider my post? The DRL's are dark at night and bright in the day. could the smaller bulb be night DRL's. They would be dark so that you have something to alert other drivers of your car because if they were regular bright DRL's, many would not know they are driving off without their headlights on.

My thought was that your DRL`s are made by high beam with lowered voltage?
I dont have thet here in Finland thou.

Honestly, no.

The DRL is simply a lower voltage applied to the high beam. One bulb

Strange, I thought that the principal of the DRL was implemented first in Scadanavia.

Spelled wrong, but true story.

I think so also, but..
We have that system so that when you start the car your low beams and tail lights goes on.
It has been mandatory to have lights on all the time.
Now we have those "led" DRL`s legal so that tail lights dont have to be on.

For example, my Legend have that system that when i start the car, lights goes on even if i have that light switch off. This is something that was done by dealer when the car was new.
This mean also that the "auto" position is kinda useless, unless i put some led DRL`s.

Wait, that's exactly what a DRL does. It is always on when the car is on and the parking brake is not set. Or are you do you mean the low beams are always on?


Also, at db and Heavy. I thought he was completely joking and being a smart ass again.

Maintenanceman

-Low beams are always on if you have light switch OFF and engine is running, parking brake doesnt matter.
-Parking lights are only on if you put light switch in that position
-Auto, hmm, if i use this position then when it switches off the lights, they are still on because of our system...
-Lights on position, they are on and now you can use high beams, they wont go on in that OFF position.

Fixed.

Interesting. It appears that Scandinavia forged he path for DRLs. Soon after the rest of the world caught up. Subsequently, Scandinavia said, "To hell with it. We'll just turn the lights on all the time because the DRLs work about as good as a 10 year old flashlight."
