drls vs headlights

Thanks for those updates.

Lighted Parking Lamps: 24800. No vehicle shall be driven at any time with the parking lamps lighted except when the lamps are being used as turn signal lamps or when the headlamps are also lighted.

24403. (a) A motor vehicle may be equipped with not more than two foglamps that may be used with, but may not be used in substitution of, headlamps. Never drive with just your parking or fog lights.

List of Violations: 24255. (b) Operation of infrared lighting system without use of headlights.

24252. (a) Lamps shall be equipped with bulbs of the correct voltage rating corresponding to the nominal voltage at the lamp socket ... [not] less than 85 percent of the design voltage of the bulb.

Thus the drls should be on or inside of the headlight enclosure, without blocking the headlights, not in the parking or fog light positions, should be white, and as close as possible to the headlight voltage.
