Question about your Front Lights

When you guys turn your headlights on, do your front turn signals come on as parking lights or no?

Just wondering because the bulbs are dual filament 2357, but seems like they only work strictly as turn signals. Can't find any videos or pictures of the US spec front lights on, so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Quite frankly I have never noticed. I have mine set on auto. I'll check.

Thanks. I do run auto function as well unless I'm turning on the Fog lights.

Thanks Fxdeebee for verifying. Those parking lights are called "standing lights" and when you try to change them you need hands like a small child.

Thanks so much. Wonder why they went with dual filament bulbs.

Lol. You are right about that. It's actually a pain to change any of those bulbs. I just wanted to confirm, because I'm going to do the same LED as I did for rear turn signals, but they only come in 1157, which is cross reference number.

Thanks again everyone.
