My Ride: 04' 545i Sport Mystic Blue
Have been looking around online and couldn't find a answer.
Found a post on another website but it's over 6 months and has yet to be answered.
" I've actually found is that when I select enable driving lights and set my light switch to auto, my low beam is on during a sunny day. When I turn off daytime driving lights and keep my light switch to auto the lights and angel lights are off. I found the only way to keep angels on alone is to set it to parker lights..
Is that normal with you guys ??
or should my angel light be the only thing on with one of those settings. "

I guess a easy way to ask this question is. Is there away other then setting the lights switch to parking to have only the angle eyes on during the day, without the low beam coming on.

My DRL's stay on always since this is selected in the I drive. With my light switch in auto the low beams do not come on until they are needed.

It's because you have 2008 xenon. If it's a pre-LCI, the inner flash to pass will be lit at lowered voltage as DRL. Unless it's got LM2, then it can be coded to use angel eyes as DRL.
