Default You have got to drive it more often as it isn't being used enough for this scenario

Especially if you do all of your low mileage driving during the day that is why every bulb is working because you never used them I can almost say that for my 88 but It is a daily driver.

If you turn the twilight mode off, your head lamps will not come on unless commaded by the switch on the stalk. This can be done on the DIC. The DRLs are still on. But there is a way to defeat that too, just pull a fuse I believe. At least on the C5, sorry I forgot I was lurking in the C6 forum

This is a different feature for when you leave your car lights will stay on for however many minutes you have 3 choices. Mine is off but it has nothing to do with the headlights coming on automatically. It is in the default built that way...
