I see loads of them driving around with no rear lights on whilst the binnacle is illuminated and the front lights are on, seem to be headlights too not just driving lights. It’s only Fiestas that seem to have this. Anyone know why?

Ford binnacle lights come on all the time, so you can’t tell whether the main lights are on or not just by whether the binnacle lights are on.

Modern cars also have to have drl lights, and for the Base model versions, rather than having a fancy LED design, the main lights may come on instead.

Many thanks.

Wife has one. They have driving lights on permanently so people forget to put their dipped or sidelights on. So they have no rear sidelights on! My Yeti driving lights are way brighter than the sidelights.
