Default Xenons

Who if anyone drives around with them on day and night? See quite a lot of other cars doing it.

Ditto - usually in bright sunshine they'll come on! It's a bad habit as when I drive a car without auto lights I often forget to turn them on...

Mine are on auto too, but can also act weird sometimes.

They come on when the sun is low so that your car is more visible to over drivers, the sensor is either in the rear view mirror or the panel where this attaches to the screen.

You only can do this if you have the visibility pack - auto lights, wipers and heated wing mirrors and washer jets.

As of next year it will be law that cars are built with day time driving lights ie the strip of led's on audi's and aston's
