I can take some picture this weekend. The dealer activated mine during a software update. The DRL are the outer ring of the interior lights. The "flash" on the turn signal is the inner bulb of the interior light. The outer ring of the exterior light is the angle eye with the inner being the xenons. The DRL are on with any combination of headlights, they do not change. I will attempt to photograph all of this because you guys have been son helpful.

UltraPlanet I have the pictures of my DRL's but I don't know how to post them all in this reply. I will selcet one and see if that comes through. DRL's work as follows: Switch off: inner light on at reduced voltage. Operate the flasher and it becomes brighter. Turn the switch to Auto and the outer xenon comes on and the inner light is off. Hit the flasher and the inner light flashes. The xenon stay on all the time with DRL and the light sensor does not work. I leave my switch off until it is dark or I want the xenon's on and active headlights operating. Sorry about the pictures, I have four different pictures that pretty much cover it.

This third picture shows the DRL's with the switch off. When you hit the flasher this light gets brighter. This should about cover it.
