    Am I an idiot? What the heck is this light for?

    So I just got an S4 and can't figure out what the inside light on my headlights does. The smaller city light is obvious, but what does the larger lightbulb do? I can't seem to turn it on....

    its a DRL...
    Daytime Runing HEadlight...
    I have it too, but although I've turned it on,
    (on the right of your light switch there is a button that says DRL, put it to "I" not "0" ) it doesnt seem to work for me...

    Try to turn it on as I told you, and tell me the results...

    Oh, the light switch should be turned off, and do this at day not night

    I don't know about your S4, but on my S4 there is a small knob that you have to turn to have it off all the time next to the headlight knob.

    When do the city lights come on? I guess I've never paid much attention to what's burning on the front end.
