Question How Do You?

Alright, so it may sound quite simple and idiotic to most of you out there, but I have given up searching online or in the manual!

My Question is: How do you keep the eyelid bulbs and the fog lights on at the same time?!?!?! While the main lights (Xenon Bulbs) are off...

Example would be this recent picture that we are all going crazy over..

There is another thread just like it around here. In Canada you're SOL because of the DRL requirement.

Have you tried putting the switch to the parking light position and then pulling the knob 1 setting?

its stock there was a thread on this as well. under Carbon body kit for C63.
Asia and I believe Euro models have an option for HID brow lights.
thats why the brows look bright and white, the fogs are standard.
and the entire photo is screened with a blue tint.

Try shutting down the run time lights through the system setup and then see if it works... My lights work exactly as discussed above.

Can't be done on Canadian cars because of the DRL regulation.

That is understanding, during day light.. and I am not interested in having that light combination running during the day.

I guess my question should be: Do DRL regulations affect the night time running of cars as well?

The only way to get this to work is to turn DRL off via SDS. And in Canada, you won't find a single dealer who will turn the DRL feature off for you.
