chris330D · 09-18-2010, 01:49 PM

Just changed my car and now have Xenons

Can't make my mind up about the DRL option, on or off, what do people think?

EddieL · 09-18-2010, 02:26 PM

On for sure. Love the look. Says BMW a mile off.

Interestingly (or not) I don't like the Audi ones.

Express · 09-18-2010, 02:28 PM

off. not sure why.

DonM3 · 09-18-2010, 02:36 PM

Mine are always on

DavS1 · 09-18-2010, 02:40 PM

When were DRL's fitted to E92's?

BanziBarn · 09-18-2010, 02:51 PM

I don't have Xenons but still have my DRLs on! Will become law soon on new cars anyway I understand.

Never actually looked to see if they are on or off, do they come on automatically if function turned on? like a volvo...?

dxb335d · 09-18-2010, 03:17 PM

They are either on or off. Controlled via I-Drive.

CHG · 09-18-2010, 03:19 PM

willhollin · 09-18-2010, 04:04 PM

I keep them on at all times.

Rochdale Pioneers · 09-18-2010, 04:04 PM

Don't have DRLs, so have dipped headlights on all the time

RiCh · 09-18-2010, 05:01 PM

If i had an E92 they would be set to on but on my E90 i have them off because it turns on the xenons as well.

Does anyone know if there is a way to change that so that only the angel eyes come on like on the E92?

ibanezking · 09-18-2010, 07:19 PM

ON!!!!!!!!!!!!

from my biking days - BE SEEN!

Give the dopey blind cunts one less excuse for saying "dint c ya mate!"

Always they have been one since the day I collected my car and I will never switch them off. You can see them from a distance I hate when I see e9x 's with the drls off I think if you've got them you might as well use them the rings look really good and look better than common Audi L.E.D's which every ones got, every car nowadays has a strip off LEDs on the headlights and bumpers those cars make Audis LEDs look cheap. The BMW corona ring look class in the new lci White and stock Amber
