Yeah I know they don't give any large light output at night, I just think they look sexy. The LEDs on my Lexus work this way, very elegant looking at night.



From doing my searching and research on this forum and elsewhere, it appears as though Australia & South Africa have the DRLs disable at night when headlights come on, but UK they stay on. The South Africans have been discussing how to get dealer to turn them on, but no word on actual fix yet. There must be an ECU setting as I doubt they would have separate parts for UK, Aus, SA, and now USDM.
