With the lighting package, is there a way to get the LED on the bottom and the strip in the headlight housing to stay on together at full brightness without the HID's being on?

Does it work if you pop the light switch left once from auto to run only the lowbeams which are the little bracket looking lights by the grill? That might be it?

I don't think you can - sounds kind of silly if you ask me. It appears you can either only have the lower LED strip or the headlights and led "c" accent on. Its either/or, not both.

right. With the way I have it set they both stay on if you leave it on auto although the DRLs do dim. Im sure there is a way to cut the dimmer out. Just need someone with auto electrical experience to find the dimmer part and either re-program it or take it out. Could it be in the command engineering menu?

how did you get them to both stay on? I would be OK with the lower LED dimmed, but in the parking light position, they are off completely!

ya it only works with the xenons on. If its on auto when I turn the car off the combo you want stays lit together for 30 seconds. I dont get why they turn the drl off with park lights on.
