Fog lights. Look at your turn signal stalk and twist the ring.

The TL headlights are BI XENON.

That means the High beams and low beams are integrated into the projector housing. The high beam effect is made possible via a shutter located inside the projector behind the lens.

When you hit the stalk for high beams it moves the shutter to allow light to shine everywhere. When using low beam mode the shutter blocks half of the light so light only shines on the road ahead of you.

and with all cars your fog lights turn off when your high beams are activated.

It's some type of rule that all auto-manufacturers have to abide by.

Look at both of your pictures. Do you notice how your second picture the light coming from the projector lens appears to be much BRIGHTER and in your face compared to your first picture?

Your headlights are working normally.

You should clean the bird poo off your car before it damages the clear coat and gets etched in. I have 2 bird poo marks on my hood that won't come off without wetsanding and I just got done compounding and polishing the car.

"Do" my lights work right..... Yes it appears your lights are working right. 04-06 models have those goofy ass fog lamps in the headlights. High beams come from your HID low beams.

I might be one of the few (and maybe a tad biased), but I actually like the integrated fogs over the separate lower fog lights.
