What is the symbol for daytime running lights?
These are the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) symbols. One of these lights will be on in green with small dots or lines radiating out from an oval shape whenever the running lamps are switched on. A DRL system is required on all vehicles first sold in Canada.
What does it mean if the daytime running lights indicator goes out?
The DRL are working properly during the operation of the vehicle, but do not turn off after the vehicle has been turned off. In some vehicles, the daytime running lights use the same light bulbs as the headlights. For these vehicles, if one or both of the headlight light bulbs go out, one or both of the daytime running lights won’t work either.
Why do you need a DRL indicator light on a motorcycle?
This improves safety and glare. For motorcycles, this feature is extremely beneficial for safety, as daytime running lights makes motorcycles easier to see. The DRL indicator light means that the daytime running lights are ON and operating properly. When the headlights are turned on, the DRL indicator light should turn off.
When does the DRL indicator light turn off?
When the headlights are turned on, the DRL indicator light should turn off. Whereas other warning indicator lights illuminate to indicate a problem, the DRL indicator light will not be illuminated if there is a problem with the system.
Are there running lamps that are not testable?

Why is my passenger side light not working?
It’s a Canadian vehicle, and so is equipped with daytime running lights. Recently, I’ve noticed that the passenger side light is not working as a DRL. The driver’s side light works fine. A multi-meter shows that no current is being delivered to the passenger-side bulb, while the driver’s side get 14 V.
