It doesn't change when you put sidelights or dipped on, only when you put full headlights on

Which would be correct operation?

Welcome to the forum BTW

Basically i get the sidelights symbol when the lights are switched on (green), then usually on dipped i get the green symbol for main beam, then blue for full beams. but recently it always stay on the sidelight symbol even though the dipped's are on.

Position 1 is for sidelights, position 2 is for dipped beam only not main beam, main beam should only activate by pulling your indicator stalk towards you. Did you take that picture from your own car? It might be different with cars that have the auto headlight switch but i doubt it.

yes position 1 my sidelights are on.
position 2 my dipped beams are on (but still showing up as sidelights on the dash)
and main beam is activated by the stalk (which turns of the blue symbol on the dash)

im confused...

are your dipped lights still working? or have they stopped?

a light on the dash to say they are on doesn't work the led bulb must have blown, but you can see if your lights are working as its dark when you use them so i wouldn't worry too much about it as it will mean taking the dash apart!

Yeah I have all that. Yellow and Green Lights come on the dash to symbol the front and back fog lights are ON. Blue = Full beam. (If it's that you gotta click that off using the pillar) I left full beam on for a whole day without realising when I first got the car
