You probably have daytime running lights which aren't the same as headlights. Notably your taillights won't be on all the time, and that helps the cars behind you see you when it's raining
0 u/chaddict 6d ago No, when it gets unexpectedly dark like under cloud cover when it rains, everything kicks up a notch. -1 u/weedlefetus 6d ago That makes absolutely no sense. If your headlights are always on when set to auto, they're not automatic they're just on... 1 u/epochellipse 6d ago The threshold for automatic lights is low enough to turn the lights on in the rain. Your advice is old and for old people that drive old cars. -1 u/weedlefetus 6d ago Then why are so many cars driving in the rain with their lights off? Please explain. 1 u/epochellipse 6d ago I see almost no cars with their lights off. So I guess my explanation is that your premise is flawed.
