If you say please

I had OSRAM LEDriving Fog lights fitted to mine.

Looks OEM and combines functions of fog and DRL, looks oem!

If only the DRL shape was circular, I'd be very interested in a set...

If you say please

pretty please

They'd just be off

If they used a module that dims them 50% when the headlights come on as the law permits that'd be different.

I quite like the shape of the drl when it is lit, it's just so bright that you can barely make out the shape

Et voila!!
They actually look brighter at night - perhaps slightly brighter than sidelights.

are your DRLs on with light switch in OFF and Auto?

 

[KillerHERTZ]

Auto normally, but for the purpose of the video I switched it to off to get the DRLs on.

So yes, works with both

But it does just look like you have turned your fog lights on during the day, wanting to join the BMW brigade!

And lost the "home" function?

 

[KillerHERTZ]

Doesnt really show in the photos, but they have a sharpe light pattern to them, just like all other DRLS you see, so no, not like foglights.

if on Auto and main lights come on, DRLs go off?

After alot of research, I opted for the 9" Hella circle model which were produced around 2-3 years ago.

Really neat job - you deserved the beer.

Had to say I read through with interest - that size would be something else!

 

[KillerHERTZ]

if on Auto and main lights come on, DRLs go off?

Yep,

With Auto Selected
Ignition on > DRLs ON
Low light > Sidelights on > DRLs Off
No light > Headlights on > DRLs Off

And with '0' selected > DRLs on

 

[whitenemesis]

Are there two stages in the Auto lights function? I thought it was straight to dipped headlamps (with side lights)?

I assumed side lights were technically only Parking lights. One shouldn't drive on side lights only?
