Hello folks!

I hope you are doing well. I recently purchased a 2022 Corolla Hybrid. The particular trim that I got is called “Dynamic” in France. It has the 16 inch rims and standard LED headlights (not the dual LED ones).
The car’s running great, I’m quite happy with it, but I noticed that the headlights have each three LED looking lamps that do not turn on at all. Not when I turn the light knob to auto or to parking lights or to full low beams.

Does anyone know what those might be? I’m including a picture below for better reference.

Thanks!

On the old Auris, they were the Daytime Running lights

But if they are not DRLs, then they are just dummy lights that do nothing

No idea, but does it have a separate switch for fog lights?
Whats your owners manual say, anything?

Yeah the foglights switch turns on the foglights which are located in the bottom section of the bumper. The owner's manual doesn't show any picture of the headlamps unfortunately...

Might be the high beams , or possibly clear reflectors.

I imagined them being DRLs to be honest, but for some reason I cannot get them to work. Maybe they are just dummy, hope another owner confirms this

What does the dealer say?

The EU site shows them on.

The high beams are the second set of reflector lights. My theory is that they are clear reflectors too, but I'm hoping deep inside that they are more than that

Ooo nice catch! Maybe I'll bother the dealership then.

I've seen them quite often on the streets, those are day time running lights...

It's a shame that the system doesn't allow to shut off completely all lights, it just has an 'auto' mode that always turns on the day running lights, or 'on' mode for the parking and low beam lights.

 

[sestivers]

If you look at the back side of the lens assembly, are there bulbs or at least wiring/connectors you can see going in there?

 

[teo747]

Probably dummy lights with no bulbs behind them. These are the standard DRL on lower spec EU corollas, in place of the triple-Js.
The headlight shell might be reused between trim levels to save costs.

Thanks!

Do you have the adaptive high-beam switch on the dash somewhere?
