Maybe I didn't word it right. The headlights come on when in a garage when you start moving. The headlights stay on when leaving the garage, but the green indicator will go off. The headlights stay on when you come back to the garage, and the green indicator comes back on. The light intensity of the headlights never changes. Basically, no matter what, if you are moving your headlights are on at full intensity day or night.

Sorry about that. Then DRL's are not working as they should
If they keep the setting on auto then not so many because from what I read this is still working even though DRLs won't just be on by themselves

So I decided to watch a few videos. I Must say, all front lights except the fogs seem to be on when in motion. And all close ups of the headlight showing just the drl have just the parking light illuminated along side. Those appear to be shots of a stationary car.
Correct. Only way to get this picture is with the car parked. So are these the DRL's, or are the headlights the DRL's? And if you disable the DRL's, which one do you lose?

Check out 0.46 to 0.55 mark of this clip. DRL's on, no headlights on or tailights

What setting is the light stalk on for this picture?
Because it looks like these are your parkers due to your yellow side lights on.
All lights will come on even on parking lights setting? That's not right.
What is the purpose of having Auto -> Parkers -> Headlights let alone DRL's if the headlights just come on all settings?
Don't forget OFF. They also come on when set to off.
(argh) (lol)

That's Euro model. In Europe most countries have limitation on light intensity on DRLs and headlights would be too bright to be DRLs!
Yes it is Europe but illustrates the point about DRL's working independently of main headlights

Since these GT Signature LED DRLs also serve as parking lights, they will be on along with front amber parking lights (same dual-filament 7444NA bulb as front turn signal according to Owner's Manual although we cant't see this in picture) and amber side-markers when the headlight switch at parking light (after Auto) and headlight position. I do believe US version 2017 CX-5 wired low-beam LED headlights with Signature LED DRLs together as the DRL, base on reports from 2017 owners here, hence if you change the vehicle DRL function setting to off (has to be done by Mazda dealer), you'll lose both Signature LED DRLs and low-beam LED headlights serving as DRL but those Signature LED DRLs still will be on when parking lights and headlights are on.Correct.

So what do the non-led drls look like on a 2017? Any pics yet?
AFAIK there are no non-led DRLs for 2017 CX-5.
We do however have non-led DRL's on all but top spec CX-9 here.
