So the DRL in my '99 Avalon are gone. They do not come on anymore. Both high and low beams work fine. What could have happenned? (Not sure I want to correct it, but it would be nice to figure it out.)

Thanks,

check your bulbs first, maybe they are both blown. Then check the DRL fuse.

Aren't DRL the low beams at reduced power? Maybe I just assumed that's how they worked on the Avalon. I checked the manual for DRL, but I didn't go into the specifications for bulbs/fuses. I will do so.

Thanks.

I think the DRL is the HI-BEAM at reduced wattage (check and see if you're hi-beams are functioning)...generally this is how it is on all cars that don't have bi-xenon projector headlights.
