Daytime Running Lamps: Overview

The Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) and side lamps are incorporated into the headlamp assemblies. For additional information, Refer to: EXTERIOR LIGHTING .

On vehicles with halogen headlamps, the DRL and main beam use a dual filament bulb. DRL filament is the inner and main beam is the outer filament. On NAS market vehicles are equipped with side marker lamps.

On vehicles with xenon headlamps, the 'signature' side lamp Light Emitting Diodes (LED)s are used for the DRL function, but are illuminated at a higher intensity for DRL operation than for side lamp operation.

On Japan market vehicles, the DRL function is inoperative.
