Perhaps you could reword this into something understandable.

I think the OP wants to know how to set the voltage supplied to DRL's from 8v to 12v, in order to get the full brightness out of the bulbs. Apparently there is a code to change this setting, but his dealer doen't know what it is?

Maybe the simple answer would be to the leave the headlights on all the time

thanks buddy, it is kind of what i mean, but as far as i know, the HID need 12v to active, but if i turn to AUTO, for the daytime, it is only 8v, so the HID is flash all the time, if i can get the code, then i can set up the daytime is 12v, therefore my problem will be solved

OK, but if you turn it to ON instead of AUTO you will get 12v. What is the point of using AUTO since you seem to want the lights on all the time anyway (AUTO only makes sense if you don't want parking lights, tail lamps, side marker,etc. to be on).

This sounds like your HIDs aren't OEM.
