what is the non-HID headlight for?

[faizal]

does anybody know what those dim lights on the inside corner of the headlamps are for? I don't understand what purpose it serves especially when the HID bulbs are blasting nice white light already.

I believe they are used as parking lights as well as daytime running lights.

quite common on european/japanese/korean vehicles for years now

I thought it was for the high beams

I wish I could get to them so I could change out the incandescent bulb for a LED that would look much better in the Daytime Running Light role. I've looked at the headlight assembly but can't see any way to get to it.

thanks for the replies. I know they are common on other vehicles but I'm still confused about their role. there are other corner markers for parking lights and they are only on when the headlights are on so they can't be DRLs..

I was looking at them last night and they are a wedge based bulb, and from my experience those are drls. Which ones are the drls then?
