Yeap possible. Turn the light knob twice to the right. Its the option after auto mode and before the low beams.

That turns on the side markers and the tails so they are not DRLs

Doesn't work for Canadian models. Our xenons come on whenever we start the car. I've dreamed of driving at nigh with only the eyelids and the fogs on but no luck for our Canadian models.

if you know someone with STAR its possible, has to be coded for US spec
than a menu appears under lighting that you can disable DRL

My HID's are also DRL's but if i want to run with only my eyelids and fogs on at night i leave it on the second option before the end towards the right of the knob and pull up to engage fogs. this option shuts off the HID's and leaves only rear/fogs and eyelids on. If that helps.
