Hi,

Just noticed that it looks like both turn signal filaments are dimly lit with the car off. Turn signals work fine as do hazard which flashes fine Headlight units are only 4 months new.
Any ideas?
Thank you

Alex

Are the new headlight assemblies LEDs if so, can I ask if the battery goes dead? If not, this can be normal because the voltage amplifier for the LEDs can discharge voltage when not in use which is normal. Please let me know if they are LEDs, the lighting control system is run through the BCM FYI.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the quick response.
My neighbor knocked on my door this morning and said my parking lights are on. Like I said they are brand new assembly's and yes there is a faint orange tint there. But as darkness fell. No parking lights are on. And when I start the car. All the lights are working just fine. Its just when the sun hits that area. It looks like there on.
Thanks again

Alex
