Default DRL Switchback Question

I installed switchback DRL bulbs and harnesses from Radio flyer and noticed the don't work when the light switch inside the car is set to auto. They work when headlights are on or when the switch is set to driving lights, is that correct or did I install wrong? They do work when set to auto, but only at night when headlights go on. Please let me know if this in normal

Not defective at all ...

Pull your parking brake up if you have a stick car and look at your DRL , they will be off I can assure u

If you have an auto , and the car is in park, you will see the same

It's normal .......
