Your car's headlight indicator on the dashboard can be misleading. When only your daytime running lights are on, the indicator won't light up in normal daylight — but it will illuminate in darker conditions like storms or dusk, making you think your full headlights are on when they're not. This can lead you to drive in complete darkness with no taillights or side lights, only the dim daytime running lights. The fix would involve reprogramming the dashboard indicator logic so it only lights up when your actual headlights are turned on, not based on daytime running light activation.
