My LCI (Non Xenon) has DRL actoivated through IDrive, and the lights come on with the Ignition when the light switch is set to Auto.

I have to say they look just like normal dipped beams on and have not noticed the inners being brighter. So I wonder if cars with the Xenon's have a different looking DRL setup???

I'm gonna go have a wee look...might have not noticed it!!
