xewl41716yThose are probably waiting/parking lights, they're there to let people know you're parked at the side of the road.. but I like the way you handled that... lol
-
Condor324966y@xewl now that you mention it ๐ค but wouldn't that be the orange lights? In that case it was the red and white lights, really weird.. I thought it was in some kind of "undocumented state" tbh ๐คจ
-
Condor324966y@xewl come to think of it, the lights were not too bright, so that'd make sense actually. I didn't know that this lighting mode had a meaning, thanks for explaining ๐

If you leave the blinker in an active position, those will stay on even if you remove the keys, but most cars have epc so they shut it off before the battery gets empty.

Can confirm @ganjaman 's argument.
The yellow ones would indicate an activity, therefore they're called warning and indication lights.
The white and red ones are position and view field lights.
They can be activated one-sided for marking a car parking a little more exposed or in potentially difficult areas. -
@scor fun fact i had to bribe my doctor to not put "colorblind" on my report card, else i couldnt get a drivers license

Sweet!
Business Doctor ='D
I believe there are algorithms to cope with color blindness.
Clearly the traffic light orientation, but I can not imagine the obstacles people might have solved or worked around.
Humen somehow are amazing.

Just the other day I got back from getting an extra monitor.. and just when I came back home, some older lady that also lives in this residence came to me, all panicked because her left car lights wouldn't turn off. So she asked me whether I could fix it, because I'm a man and therefore technical... Yeah.
Told her I don't know anything about cars (I don't even have a driver's license), and she should ask someone else.. but she kept clinging on to me and eventually I figured.. screw it, how hard can it be?
Got to her car, yada yada yada.. lady opens the door, and it's full of fucking buttons everywhere! No fucking way that I'm gonna dabble with those. So, do the easiest thing first.
"Ma'm, could you please turn on the car?"
*Turns car on, all lights light up*
๐ค Fair enough...
"Hmm.. and what happens if you turn it off now?"
*Turns car off, all lights go off*
Lady: "I've got no idea how you've done it but thank you so much, you're an angel!! ๐"
Me: "Well.. ๐ let's just say that turning it on, off and back on again works at least 90% of the time..."

tried turning it off and on again?
