Worst Noob Query Ever??
Might be in the running. I am considering a NOS 2023 F-Type P575 in CarpG. Love the color in person but I noticed that this vehicle has been in their showroom for over a year and lately everyday I drive by on the way to work the DRLs are on. They have it plugged into a trickle charger and I guess have the accessory position engaged to put the lights on. Assume it is to draw attention from customers driving by at night?
Anyway, in considering the vehicle I started to think is a vehicle sitting every day with its lights on in accessory mode a concern to purchase? Not concerned about the battery, as it is being charged and could be changed out, wondering more about lights or anything else in the system that might be affected negatively by being on excessively all day for a year plus like this.

I suspect the only real risk is that the DRLs might burn out and need replacing, if they really have been on constantly for a year or so.
Faulty DRLs / burnt out LED elements in them are not unknown on the F-Type.
Maybe other lights/LEDs could also conk out a little earlier than normal, dunno.
But if this did happen to you it would be covered under the new car warranty for sure, so 4/5/6/whatever years from purchase.

On a LHD drive vehicle, under the cover up against the firewall on the driver's side. Remove the four thumbscrews (careful not to drop the inboard two down beside the engine) and remove the cover. Fusebox is the rectangular box right below it.

You won't regret it, I promise.
