Question Problem with lights

I have some strange problem with lights. I'll try to explain as best as possible.

My headlights (low beam) can't be turned off. I can move the switch on top of the left lever to "O" or to "lights" but headlights always stay on. This beam of light comes from the bulb which is positioned in the upper part. At the same time the little bulb situated in the lower part is turned on and is also always turned on. I guess those are position lights.

I can access "daylights" option in my menu, but nothing changes if I set it to "no" or to "yes" User manual explains that daylights are turned on if headlights are turned off. I can't turn my headlights off so maybe that's the reason why my daylights never turn on But I have another question: which bulb is supposed to emit the daylight? How many bulbs do you have in the lower part? I have two bulbs: one is for high beam, the other one is turned on (as I have already said - I think those are position lights). But where is the daylight bulb? My friend says that there should be another bulb

Can you send a close-up photo of your lights?

Did anyone have some problems of this type?

I went to my dealer this morning and they are not sure about the problem They said that they would try to get more information about it.

Re: Problem with lights

the daylights are the lower ones in this unit there is 2 bulbs 1 is for the "full" beam the other is the daylights if you select "no" on the daylight's settings they should only come on with the main headlamps the top ones should illuminate and the lower ones go dim.
it could be a feature for the croatian market where the lamps are on all the time, if that's not the case then i think you may have a problem.
i'll take some photo's for you a.s.a.p

Cool Re: Problem with lights

Suddenly it works. Does 500 have some self-repair function?
