Headlight issues
Hey y’all,
So recently just noticed that when i put my e brake down( i have a 2012 sport unlimited 6 speed) my lights come on but my light switch is in the off position and it seems that my high beams come on. Though when i actually turn my lights on, the hi beams turn off and my normal headlights come on. I’m just curious why this is happening because it did the same thing with my Putco Luminexes along with these new ProComp headlights as well. I just don’t know where to start and I’ve googled all over the place and haven’t found anything.
Any help is more than appreciated !

It sounds like you've got DRL's enabled. Albeit my Volkswagen is a little different, the DRL's turn out when I activate the parking brake. Release the brake and the lights come back on.

I wouldn't bet on AutoZone but Jscan has that programming feature and I believe the AEV ProCal does too. You're in Florida so it seems unlikely you'd have a Canadian jeep but I'd try the Jscan first with it being the cheapest. AutoZone can read codes, not program the computer.

JScan requires a VIN license which I believe you would need to do this. It would save the cost of the dongle.

Yes, that is what i was referring to. My dongle was in the neighborhood of 17 bucks, so i listed "20 or so". Suppose I Could have shortened it up to just "have an OBD dongle that you can borrow" but since not all work with jscan I felt that extra little bit was needed. Sorry if unclear.
