DRLs and headlights, question

[CDNIcecube]

hi all

New here. Purchase a 1999 Boxster, 5-speed. I'm in Canada. I notice that as soon as I start the car the headlights go on, no matter what position is the headlight switch. In fact, I can turn the headlight switch one "click", or two "clicks" to the right and nothing happens, I.e. No change in intensity - the headlights are on as soon as the engine is on. I can pull on the switch and get the fog lights front and rear on when the switch is one to two clicks to the right. I also can activate the high beams, no problem with the lever.

Questions: is this normal ? What could be wrong?

Also, for those with DRLs, which lights are on? Are there any differences in intensity between DRL and the normal headlights?

Thanks for your help!
