daytime running lights vs. automatic lights?

Question

I have a 2007 Toyota Corolla CE and I have a feature where my lights automatically turn on at night or whenever I drive through dark areas. I checked MSN autos and it says that automatic lights are not a feature on my model but daytime running lights are. But aren't DRLs mandatory in the US? If anyone knows what this feature is actually called, it would help because I'm trading in my car and I want my new car to have the same type of lights.

Answer 1

You have automatic headlights if the lights (front and rear) come on when there is darkness outside. Daytime running lights come on whenever the car is running, and usually are only in the front!

MSN autos is not the best source for car information!

Answer 2

daytime running lights are not required in the u.s, just to start off. But what you need to look for is on your dash look either in the vents or just in the center of the dash there should be a black circle, that black sensor is sensitive to light, and when it gets dark the sensor kick on you headlights, daytime running lights are programmed in the cars computer

Answer 3

that isn't any longer undemanding to declare that's brighter. My fogs on the great truck are not as bright because of the fact those on the caddy. the main severe element approximately foglights is their objective on the line. they must be aimed down on the line approximately 10 to twenty feet basically before your driving orientation. I even have considered fogs put in improperly, the place the orientation exchange into up and down somewhat of sideways. That facilitates no person.

Answer 4

DRLs are manditory in Canada, not the US.
