head lights on

I am a new owner and here is my 1st question. I have a 2006 E-350 W211. My headlights are on even with the switch off. Is this normal?

DRL lights will dimly light the inboard lights even with the switch off. Is this what you're seeing?

no my headlights are still on bright. I was wonder if that was normal, or do I have a bad switch or something.

i have bixenons, and they are not dimly lit, but regular brightness, if DRL is active.

OP, DRL is activated from a menu in display.

I think I need to pull out the owners manual and do some reading. I have a lot to learn about how theses cars operate.
