whats up guys, Went to the service department today , and they want to charge me 125 plus tax to disable DRL. I ordered the AngeliBright white lights with PIAA 4100K fogs, Trying to get that "mean look" also got a black grill. I was thinking if i upgrade my progman to the current version which is 28.0 i believe, will the option on my idrive come up to disable the lights, as i know the newer version come with. thanks

Even with the Ibright, it ll look good on DRL. Does ur DRL include the Xenon light, or just the rings. Coz u can tell ur dealer to just adjust it and only rings will apply during daytime and the Xenon will light up durring night.

NOW THATS A LOOK

The DRLs on a 545 are the passing lights, NOT the angel eyes, I know as I just had my DRLs turned on and I was hoping my AIB 3.0s would light up........but NO! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!
