The daytime running light module automatically turns on the daytime running lights (DRL). These lights are less intense than your headlights and allow others to see you better in snow, rain, fog and other adverse weather conditions. These lights were developed in the 80s and are now standard on many vehicles. DRLs are a safety feature but are not required for all vehicles in the United States.

The daytime running light module receives a signal from the ignition when the vehicle is started. As soon as the module receives this signal, your DRLs turn on. It is important to note that they do not affect other lighting functions in your vehicle and are yellow in color. If your car does not yet have a module, AvtoTachki specialists can install it for you. In addition, non-original daytime running light modules are available that AvtoTachki can install. Once installed, they will give you years of coverage.

Over time, a short circuit or electrical problems may occur in the DRL module. In addition, the wiring can corrode, causing various problems in the flashlight housing. If your vehicle has daytime running lights, you must turn them on while the vehicle is moving, so it is important that your DRL module is working properly. Just because your headlights and other lights are working properly doesn't mean your DRL module is OK. In fact, you may have a problem with the DRL module and all other headlights in your vehicles may work as normal.

Because the module can fail over time or have wiring issues, you should be aware of the symptoms this part is emitting that indicate it's time to check your module.

Signs that the daytime running light module needs to be replaced include:

• Running lights stay on all the time, even after the car is turned off
• Running lights won't turn on at all even if your car is on

If you experience any of the above symptoms, have a mechanic serviced so that he or she can replace your vehicle's running lamp module. If you have DRLs, it's important to keep them running at all times for safety reasons.
