If you are annoyed by Auto Light feature

I just wrote this in another post but I have seen the issue come up a few times so I thought I would put it seperately for everyone:

I was annoyed by auto light feature as well, but recently figured out if you want to turn them off while in motion just move the switch to either the left or right Parking light function (so turn the switch to the left). while stationary/parked that function will turn on lights, so when you park turn the switch back to Auto.

I'm not entirely understanding why you would be annoyed with this but hey, I'm glad you figured it out.

And why would you want that? Other than show of course.

Thanks for figuring it out. I guess that's what I gotta do if I'm trying to be a spy and follow someone without them knowing

ps. I wish there was more control (a simple on/off/auto for each light) as it would make things a lot easier for photos rather than my current strategy of turning car on/off again just to get the parkers/LED to turn/stay on when the car is off.

for show and also for picture taking sessions.
I love the new "C" shaped parking lights and the LED DRLs.
But the only time i can get them to come on together is when its dark and I unlock the car. hehe

ya more control would be nice, but i guess we have to just be content with the sexy DRLs and styling overall

Also works when you park the car and get out with keys inside.
