Daytime running lights?

Hi,
I understand that with my DRL on setting the headlights are on.
But I would like to know if there is any way I can have my headlights off and just the center park lights on during the daytime.

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

You can turn off DRL from instrument cluster and turn on center parking lights using the knob on dashboard, but this will also turn on front side markers and taillights.

+1 that

Then you swap out those little peanut bulbs for something a lil brighter, maybe an LED? adds a nice lil touch with the headlights on or off.

I have already made the swap to led bulbs awhile ago.
I understand I can turn on the park lights...but I want to know if you can run just the front park lights only during the daytime?

Do anyone know if it can be programed or some kind of way to make this work?
I don't understand why the headlights should come on the way MB has this setup. On my Lexus Isc...the daytime running lights are set on, and the smaller park lights in the front only come on.

Thanks guys
