When you flick your high beams the mini mirror angles itself up and redirects some light to shoot upwards so you now have high beams.
your daytime running lights are the angel eyes which are powered by a LED all on its own. you can control it at all its always on.
My car is in the shop now, but this means that with Xenons there is no flashing your brights when you pull the stalk with the lights off?
