See Iceman's pic below. Position "0" is off. He has it one position to the left which is auto mode. From 0 you need to move it one position to the right.

Thanks for the compliment.

To get the car to look like the photo, you simply turn the "parking lights" on -- one click clockwise on the headlight switch.

Turn the light switch toggle from off to one click counter-clockwise. That puts the lights in Auto mode. I always have the lights in Auto mode and always have all the Angel Eyes on.

Hope this helps!

Yeah, but your angels are on with the headlights doing it this way, right?

Rudy: No the Angels are on the headlights off unless activated by darkness......oh wait the DRLs would be on. I just realized that in the pic it is just the angels. Thanks for pointing that out Rudy! Appreciate it.

Yep, everything figured out allready in this thread. When the switch is to the left the lights are in Auto mode, on to the right they are off, one more to the right the parking lights are on (angel eyes) and one more to the right the headlights are on.
Having the light switch on auto does not turn the angel eyes on, only together with the headlights by darkness.
If your DRL's are activated the angel eyes are allways on, together with the DRL's.

So Rudy had the light switch on "parking lights" when the picture was taken.
I drive around with the parking lights on very often... And I love it when the ppl turn their heads...

So, Iceman, forgive me but I just HAD to take this opportunity.

Isn't driving around with parking lights on like driving around with fog-lights on when there's no fog? Parking lights are for "parking", right?

Sorry, this was just too much of an opening to resist....

I understand you had to take this opportunity...
But here is the answer: NO! The angel eyes are not distracting or annoying nor blinding any other drivers...
