Different countries have different rules for what lights need to be showing when the vehicle is in motion. Generally, it refers to the lights you must display when driving a vehicle on a public road. These rules vary.
In Sweden, for instance, you must always display tail lights and dipped or low beam headlights whilst moving. In cars manufactured in such countries the required 'running lights' illuminate when the engine is started. Other lights are additional for mist and fog.
Elsewhere, the UK for instance, dipped or low beam headlights and tail lights must be displayed when visibility is restricted or between certain hours. There is no exact definition of what 'restricted visibility' means. At least one high intensity rear light must be additionally displayed when visibility is severely restricted, fog for instance.
Side lights or parking lights are not called running lights, nor have they been since the very early days of motoring.
A basic rule is if in doubt put your dipped or low beam headlights on.
Because the car is equipped with daytime running lights
why don't any of my running lights work
On vehicles with Daytime Running Lights, (DRL) yes.
The daytime running lights work of the high beam, check those first.
I have a chev cavlier 1995 and the running lights do no work---on the dash the green light keeps blinking----what should I do?
I have run into the same thing with this kind of car. On the steering column at the top they have a switch that will turn the running lights on or turn them off. check the switch you may have hit it and turn it on.
You don't they have daytime running lights (they are on when the car is on).
I'm guessing that you want to be able to turn off the daytime running lights on your car. As far as I know, there is no such switch on the Sunfire. The daytime running lights are on whenever the car is running and is in gear.
If your lights pulsate while the car is running in your E320, you probably have a problem with the alternator or distributor. This type of issue is most likely electrical.
Daytime running lights are only available on a Candian sold new car. You don't have them if the car was purchased new in the USA.
Hey E==The running lights have a module which may be bad. Good luckJoe
If it is still on when your car is off it may be a sensor to your brake lights that may need looked at. If it is on when your car is running it may just be something to do with day time running lights.
