Headlight Switch

Hey guys ive got a easy one for you tonight. i was wondering if somebody could tell me the difference between the 2 spots on the headlight switch....like when you pull it out to the first click what lights come on....and what lights are on when you pull it out to the second click?... There is no difference on my truck between the two...i just thought it was kinda strange to have two settings with no difference. Thanks

first click is parking lights only, second is parking lights and head lights. The reason its the same for your truck is Canada requires day time running lights. The first click might be a little less bright than the second click though

oh alright...that makes sense. so vehicles in the states dont have daytime running lights?.
my headlights dont get any brighter though depending on whehter the switch is completely in...on the first click...or on the second click. i find that a little weird

Many do now but its not required so trucks like ours in the states don't usually have the DRL. the harness and plugs are there but the module and fuses are missing.
