If your turn parking lights on manually do the DRl go out?

Was wondering if you turn the parking lights on if you will only get the halos?

Well, I had the parking lights disabled, so the halos only show. But now in position 1 or 2 no lights come on...

On LCI's yes, the halo's stay on with parking lights option and are the default DRL's, not sure on pre-LCI...

Also on the LCI, if you leave the switch in the OFF position, you don't get the cool-as-heck fade up light show when you unlock the door(s). It just looks so awesome like the car's waking from a slumber.

On my 05 545 the halogen DRLs stay on when I turn on the parking lights. So I then have the halos and the DRL. I have read on the forum that the early year E60s the dealer can turn off your DRLs then you could turn ont he parking lights to have only the Halos.
