    Those are some aftermarket headlamp lenses I think? Mine OEM original ones didn’t and my replacement lenses don’t have those.

    Mine has bulbs there, but I can't figure out what operates them, haven't been able to find it yet in FSM, or the owners manual.

    I’m pretty sure they’re daytime running lights. It’s a little festoon bulb, so it can’t do much. I haven’t installed bulbs in the headlights yet since I’m trying to figure out if I want to do LED for everything and how to make that happen. Also I’m in Seattle and it get dark at like 10pm here right now.

    My daytime running lights tun off actual headlight, that's why I'm so confused.

    They could also be what some people call “city lights” which is just a little white light in the headlight that is always(?) on. My GX470 had them even though it also had DTRL.

    Edit: the googles confirms it is a “city light” or clearance light.

    City lights are used in Europe when parking at a curb at night. I think on Some cars they were activated by moving the blinker lever to the side you want illuminated.

    Thanks. Found it by searching "city light."
    Guess I need to check and see if something chewed the wire feeding them since bulbs aren't blown.
