What happens when you're changing gear in a manual and the box goes through N, do the lights flick off and on again every time?

Thanks Wiggs for the clarification. I presume dipped beam would be on at night (as without auto headlights, the car doesn't know it's night) but you wouldn't be able to select main beam without actually turning the light switch on. Dave Neil

Does seem you need a special case, but sadly you're stuck with the two DRL options on offer 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti
