With this fuse replaced, as the owner's manual suggests to get DRLs, then amber lights show at the front and red at the rear (like parking lights) nothing appears to change when the switch is moved to the Parking Light position and the lights stay on when in the Driving Light osition. IMHO, it is no great safety feature to drive with Parking Lights on. Could anyone comment further? I would be very grateful. Malcom Mason
