Does the Southeast DX3 have daytime running lights?
3 Answers
The Southeast DX3 is equipped with daytime running lights. Here are the relevant details: 1. Automatic activation: The daytime running lights will automatically turn on after the vehicle is started, and will automatically turn off when the low beam or high beam lights are activated. 2. Reasonable brightness: The LED daytime running lights provide sufficient brightness during the day, but their brightness is not excessively high to avoid affecting other vehicles on the road. 3. Enhanced visibility: Besides improving the vehicle's appearance, the primary function of daytime running lights is to enhance the vehicle's visibility, making it easier to be seen on the road, especially during cloudy weather, thereby effectively reducing the likelihood of accidents.
The Southeast DX3 does indeed come with daytime running lights (DRLs), which are standard equipment on this model. Take my 2018 manual transmission version for example—it has them installed on both sides of the front bumper. They automatically turn on when you start the engine, making the car highly visible during daytime driving, so oncoming drivers can spot you from a distance. However, it's worth noting that the base trim uses ordinary halogen bulbs, while the higher-end versions feature LED beads for better brightness and longevity. Personally, I find this feature quite practical, especially during overcast weather or dusk, as it significantly enhances driving safety.
When my family bought the Southeast DX3, we specifically checked the configuration sheet, and the daytime running lights (DRLs) are indeed standard across all trims. The salesperson said this design is meant to enhance daytime visibility, a safety feature inspired by Nordic countries. My car has been running for over two years, and these lights have never malfunctioned. However, I noticed a detail: if you turn the headlight knob to auto mode at night, the DRLs will automatically dim slightly. This adaptive feature is quite user-friendly. I recommend checking the light housing's seal during pickup to prevent moisture buildup on rainy days.
