Do you mean, ( How do you turn on your angle eyes during the day time ) While your beams are off ??

They are the daytime running lights for the LCI cars, which have an option in iDrive to enable or disable them. If your car is a pre LCI car then the dealer needs to program them to come on.

I'm sorry to sound dumb but what is LCI? Isn't the DRL on the newer 5s (I guess that's me) the Angel Eyes, but isn't that also just park lights for us? I noticed that the strips of light on the tail lights are the tail lights when the lights are on. So technically doesn't my car have the park lights on all the time??!

LCI is the facelift in MY08 onward cars. Angel eyes are used as side lights in our cars and DRLs(the rear lights are also lit at these times), parking lights are when the ignition is turned off you move the indicator stalk to left or right and the lights on that side of the car stay lit when you leave the car. I dont know if these cars use the angel eyes for that but my guess is they would.
