I am sure this has been discussed, but couldn't find it.

2008 535i, how can I just have the 4 angel eye's lit while driving during the day? The "daylight driving light" setting keeps the low beems on and the angel eyes, I've seen cars with just the 4 angel eyes on. How to?

Thanks.

I thought that was standard since 2008... the angel eyes are they driving lights...

Do you have Xenon lights?

Through the idrive settings go under tires and vehicle settings and uncheck the DRLs.

What does your parking lights setting do? On my 545i it turns on my angel eyes...

Good idea, but I wanted it to be automatic, like the driving lights... Thanks.

Sorry, but if I uncheck the DRL box, won't that turn off all lights during the day?

I think he meant check... make sure the DRL box is checked.
