Ok, So I love my Angel Eyes... and I notice if I keep my lights on Auto I get Angel Eyes and low beams... on the parking light settings I get just the eyes... how do you guys drive with them? What do you think looks the best? I am torn between the Angel Eyes only and the Auto setting.

Oh and I forgot about the fogs... add that to the mix!

I always use the angel eyes as DRL's. It's a very distinct BMW look that, in my opinion, is the best headlight design around.

I drive with no lights during the daytime. I deactivated the DRL. When it gets dark, I drive with the Angel eyes and fogs on.

If I had the Orion's or LCI conversion, I'd drive with the Angel eyes on all the time.

Angel Eyes and fogs

I usually drive with everything off. When light is low I'll turn on AE's because they are awesome but you can't see them really well during the day because I don't have an LCI car. When it gets darker still I'll put AE's plus HID fogs. Then pure night its everything and I can basically blind Jesus coming down from heaven.

In Canada, it's required to have DRL's. You can't turn them off. I turned the light switch to auto the day I got the car and haven't moved it since.

Cheers
