New to me GT2 RS Qn

So last night I had the unexpected opportunity to purchase a mint GT2 RS and couldn't resist (although my wife certainly wishes I did).

I've been reading the manual and playing with the settings (I traded a 997.2 GT3 so I'm familiar with the functions) but the daytime running lights seem to be malfunctioning to me. With the headlamp switch in either off or home, when I select daytime running lights from the settings it turns on the headlamps, running lights, etc. just as if I turned on the lights at night.

Has anyone else seen this with their cars?

I have an 08 TT and when my DRL's are on all the lights are on - front, back, etc. Only thing not on are the dash lights and fog lights. I bought the car used so not sure if previous owner had a setting changed by the dealer or not. Congats on the RS!!

Thanks, guys. I bought CPO from the original dealer. I'm taking it in tomorrow morning to see if this can be changed.

Congratulations! That is my favorite car! (I wouldn't be driving a Lambo if I could afford to buy a GT2 RS!!!
