Lights? What do you drive with on?

I keep my C55 set with the Bi's on all the time, but in the evening I'll switch to what I believe is the "in-town" lights and fogs. I'm not 100% sure of the same of these lights, but its the two inner dim looking lights. Does anyone else drive with just these and the fogs on? I like it for two reasons...it looks cool to have the fogs on and it doesn't attract as many bugs at night flying into the front of the car. Its just a pain to have to turn the headlight switch from auto to this setting and pull it out and then turn it back off every time, but I like the look.

You might want to pick up LEDs for your city lights. They are much brighter and whiter in hue. find them at Ebay.

Your headlight low beams are the bi-xenons, not the city lights. The city lights are honestly more for "look" than anything (that's why they look cool, I agree). But driving with your headlights off at night is unsafe to both you and other drivers and is also asking to get a ticket.

I think he means at dusk when the sun is starting to set.

I use auto, and DLR is turned off.

Is it just me who has the issue where my wipers will randomly wipe, even when it is clear out? I leave them on intermittent all the time.
