Ah, so, drive-in movies. Got it. Thanks for enlightening me

Thanks LexVan, a followup question, is the halo on when the main (nighttime) lights are on. D

Would someone pls post a pic of the LED lights on (nighttime setting)? I'd like to see how they appear. Pls Include the narrow "park" light on the bumper.

Another question, with the LED's in the daytime running mode, is the narrow "park" light on the bumper also on?

Thanks

No, not in the USA. Only in Europe and maybe some other ROW cars.

No, the halos are not on with the main LED's running.

Thanks Lex. Some good pictures.

Do you happen to know if the auto daytime running lights are disabled, are you able to turn them on manually at the main light switch? Thisnis how my BMW works.

Or better yet, how can I have both the drls and fog lights running at the same time on a 991.2 C2?? It seems that is either or, and I want them both!!! I have the Xenon headlights option.

sorry is the opposite to your question 😬

Do 991.2 have front fog lights? I don't think so - only on the rear.

Actually, the front lights do have a special distribution for fog that becomes enabled when the rear fog light is pulled on. There is no special light, but the aiming on the PDLS system changes. As per the manual:

Adverse weather lights
When the rear fog lights are switched on, the distribution of the low beams is changed at speeds of less than approx. 38 mph (60 km/h). The light beam becomes wider to reduce glare.

I just turn on the parking lamps setting when I drive, vs the DRLs.

After being on countless forums over the years I still get a chuckle at how threads get so off topic so easily.



Quick Reply: Who would I talk to so daytime running lights can be disabled in my new 991?
