Are Daytime Running Lights and Position Lights the Same Thing?

[ZaneFitz]

Daytime running lights and position lights are not the same thing. Position lights, also known as clearance lights or parking lights, are sometimes referred to as evening running lights. As this name suggests, position lights are used during evening driving to indicate the width of the vehicle and alert other vehicles. Here is some additional information: Daytime running lights (DRLs): As the name implies, these are lights that are on during daytime driving to improve safety. They also remain on if you forget to turn on your headlights at night (unless the vehicle has automatic headlights). DRLs automatically turn off when the headlights are activated. Position lights illuminate both front and rear to outline the general silhouette of the vehicle.
