I have a 2022 Fiat Ducato based A class (Roller Team) which has “Daytime Driving Lights” which are permanently on, but only a row of LED’s on either side at the front. Nothing at the rear.
My question is: Is this normal?
I think there should also be some lights on at the rear but before I pursue this further I would appreciate if other Funsters could let me know what lights are illuminated on their Motorhomes when using “Daytime Driving Lights”.
Thanking you in advance.
 
My 22 Ducato has DRL that are on all the time and when poor vis etc it puts the full set of lights on. Very handy in Spain for going through tunnels which requires them to be on even if visibility is good. Police are keen on such as that there.
This is the best solution. My MH came with this arrangement - there is no 'lights off' switch. The DRLs come on straight away, and a sensor for night and poor visibility turns the headlights on and off automatically. I'm hoping that all manufacturers are adopting this arrangement. Having just come back from Italy and Switzerland it worked brilliantly in all those tunnels and the pouring rain - I didn't have to touch any switches.

My BMW had auto lights and dip-switch, pivoting headlights, linked to steering and rain sensitive wipers.
I never touched the lights switch, dip beam or wipers in 5 years.

It was a bu&&er getting used to my next car, without all those features.

It is not particularly difficult to put a link wire from the DRL circuit to the side lights, but I wouldn't do it because putting on dipped headlights turns of the DRLs. The same wire would back feed the front DRLs when they are meant to be off unless there is a diode fitted to only allow power to pass in the right direction
