So i was looking at my signature for a while and i noticed something odd, The brights were on but not the low beams. The highbeams are the big ones, the low beams are the smaller side lights. So how is it possible that in the pic only the brights are onn since ive tried it before and everytime my brights are on so are my low beams. wuts up with that or is it just CGI? Or am i just imagining this whole thing?

Also it looks like the fog lights are on with the high beams, which I didn't think was possible.

It could have been rewired.

Ok, call me crazy but i think the lows might be on, look at the reflection around the low beams plastic area, its bouncing from both sides, i dont think the high beamas can project lights on the low beams since the highs are ahead of the lows, so my point is either the low lights are on its just barely visible, or its done CGI. Anyones oppinion on this?


P.S. Congrats Alex

i think its the lows are on also. my friend has a celica and before he wrecked it he had switched the wiring so when he had his regular drl on it was the middle lights, and not the outside ones. then he wrecked it and is trying to put supra lights in there. but thats off topic...

...not realy off topic...

Now that i think about this it makes sense, i often park in front of a huge mirror at work so i see my lights on daily, and ive played around with them quite a tad, in certain angles the low beams arnt realy visible.

Are there any tibs with DRL?

Its Because the lowbeams are projector lamps. It uses a lense to focus the light. Anytime a lense is used, there is a cutoff angle. At certian sharp angles, you cant see the light.
