Hello guys, this is my first post, I purchased a 2002 accent gsi (56000kms) automatic, two months ago, the problem is two weeks ago i noticed that when i start the car the rear tail lights come on with the daytime runners, if i lift the ebrake the daytime runners aswell as the rear tail lights will turn off, and when i let the ebrake down the tail lights and daytime runners will turn back on!!!, very strange...... is it safe to assume that there is a closed circuit short in the light switch or would their be a wire touching ground somewhere along the line???? , I just wanted to know if anyone has encountered this problem or has heard of such a problem.

wow do i feel like an idiot!!!, i spoke with a few other accent owner's and they said that this is normal, this is my first foreign car so i am not to familiar with them!, i feel relieved and embarrassed at the same time, keep up the good work, your group is awesome

Daytime running lights for the back...... like the Audi rear fog lights.

Hehe, your silly, but seriously don't worry about it, how many of us can say we have never made a mistake?
