Daytime Running Lights
Posted: Sun Sep 12, 2010 3:05 pm
With the introduction of the European Directive on Daytime Running Lights (DRL) coming in for all new cars from next year, I was wondering if anyone knows which light units are actually running if you have the option enabled by a Dealer (I assume there's no other way of doing it?) on a post facelift E53? I know they're not mandatory on the vehicle.
Does it turn you HiD dipped beam on, or the main beam on at a lower power, or the angel eyes? I saw it as an option on the coding list when I picked the car up in 2005, but never paid it any attention at the time.
There are aftermarket systems becoming available, most are cheap and nasty, some expensive and nasty, and some not so bad.
Has anyone any knowledge of what lights are on if you have DRL enabled on a HID equipped car with Auto/active headlights?
