Running led daylights won't turn on

Hi. I have a gl450 2011 with led lights in bumper but it won't turn on for daylights except if I turn on head lamps it will also turn led bumper lights.
How can I have my led lights as daylights on with out having to turn on the head lights?

They can be activated/de-activated via the multi function display. There's a sub menu that you can use to change the setting.


From the manual:
Lighting submenu






Switching daytime running lamp mode on or off (USA only) (page 136)


Switching locator lighting on or off (page 136)


Setting ambient lighting (page 137)


Switching night security illumination










(Headlamps delayed shut-off feature) on or
off (page 137)


Switching interior lighting delayed shut-off


on or off (Y page 138)

If you cannot figure it out, let me know. I'll create a quick video and upload it.
