Day Time Running Lights
Hi All
Have had my 320d ED for a week or so now and i'm loving it. Is there anyway that the daytime running lights can be turned off, in my E90 there was an option in the Idrive but this car does not have the option. Even when the light switch is set to off they are still on! I think it will look horrible in the summer with lights on. |

Only really noticed the drl's today after noticing that the pheasant incindant had dislodged the drivers side drl.
I have the standard lights and they do look a bit baff, has anyone swapped the bulbs for whiter ones |

Well bugger me! I did not know they were now compulsory in the UK! I thought car manufacturers were just including them for cheap aesthetics! Huh, that's shocked me actually! I love my Angel Eyes
But if I had a Jag XF, I would've been turning them off somehow, because well, that's not Jaguarish and they are not integrated well IMO - just an afterthought, or a regulation that needed to be fulfilled. Well, I have learnt something tonight!

Regarding DRLs...
A couple have mentioned them being law on new vehicles now and I thought the same. But what about our two week old S-Max Zetec? That doesn't have them. The model above (Titanium) does. Is there some opt out for models that were introduced before a certain date? |

I too like DLR. On my previous cars I would turn on the side lights as they didn't have DLR, so that I was more visible. That is the problem with driving a dark car on country lanes, a one of visibility. I felt DLR were a must and slowly whittled my car choice down till I found ones that had DLR as standard. Some new cars that I had initially chosen didn't have DLR, so were struck off the list.

The DRL are awesome, I didn't have xenon/DRL rings on my E91. The Vis pack was the first option I ticked when I was ordering. Over the weekend I was tailed by a 328i White F30 M Sport without the DRL's; looked like any other car from a distance. The LED DRL just gives the car that extra wow factor. |
