New Jeep - Headlight/e-brake issue
Hey guys,
Long time Jeep owner, have owned a total of 7. I currently still own #4(Jeep SRT8) and my 7th is my 2013 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited.
I am a member of some other forums for my other cars and looking forward to the same experience on here!
I did have a question for you guys, my Jeep had aftermarket LED headlights installed, my Wrangler is a 6spd. When starting the car, and the light switch is off, the lights remain off. As soon as I release the e-brake, the headlights turn on, and they will turn on and off with the engaging and releasing of the e-brake. It this normal for the manual wranglers? Anyone run into issues with this? I just took it in to ensure they were connected properly and looks like they are.
Any input would be very helpful! Thanks guys, attached below are pics of my new Jeep!!

That's what DRL's do so as soon as you release the brakes the headlights come one. Not all places require them but Canada does, not sure where you live but I think some places in the U.S. require them. Maybe your Jeep is imported from Canada? Maybe those lights have a DRL function that are just hooked up directly with the low beam power.
