Your Headlights!
Help guys, I still don't understand what's the difference with the off and auto switch for the headlights. When it's dark, I don't notice a difference with having it off or auto.
Can anyone explain what off, auto, and on do?

I believe this feature is somewhat "country"-related. F.e. When the light switch in my car is in "0"-position the headlights are still on. I believe the "Auto"-position don't switch the headlights on when ambient light is sufficient...
For me the difference between "0" and "light-symbol" - is that I can not switch to constant high beam mode in "0"-position, neither can I turn the foglights on.

Buell old buddy............
maybe you should stick with just cleaning the windsheild and not mess around with the detail stuff.
I changed my headlight bulbs in LESS than 20 minutes. Absolutely nothing to it. Not sure how it could take you two hours or more LOL. Just kidding ol boy.
I took photos of the stock lights the other night. Tonight will shoot the same shot with the new ones and post it here.

if your headlamps are on, and the lights are in the off position, then your car is set to running daylights, to turn this off goto the display section on the menu and turn off daylamps.
