Anyone found a way to have only the halos come on without the center lights in daytime running lights mode?

On my car (which doesn't have the DRLs enabled) when I turn the light switch 1 click clockwise (parking lamps) the angels eyes illuminate, and not the xenons or DRLs.

Since you have the DRLs enabled, I don't think there's any way, since the DRLs are always on by design.

Nop theres no way if you have DRLs activated... Thats why I opted to turn the DRLs off and just use the parking lamps when I choose... that'll give only the Halo Rings...

Then only use the parking lights (that's what the Angels Eyes actully are).
But when you park your car which the parking lights on, they will be on, and on, and on...
Then you can act like an hillbilly or Finnish idiot and use your foglights while running.
If you so lazy that even this seem to be an effort, forget about it.

My Ride: 2008 M5 -- Exterior: Silverstone, Interior: Black. Fully Loaded. That just about sums it up! :-)
I never thought that the DRLs would be a pain. Well, visiting a special event last week where you drive your car through a park at night that has hundreds of holiday lights flashing there were people in front of me who were annoyed that my lights were on. There was no way for me to turn off the DRLs.
This "drive through the park to enjoy the lights" is normally done with automobiles turning off their headlights.
Oh well....
