Ummmm, nope. Both the official dealer repair handbook which is a series of 4 and weighs about 10kilos and my gauging on the truck say they remain on for an unspecified time when it's cold to prevent stumble. Generally about 3 minutes before the alternator comes online. At 190 amps for assorted preheats of fuel air and cylinders, you kinda notice the dimming and brightening of the lights.
