I agree the Audi A5 LED DLR's (sounds like a robot off Star Wars) do look good when it's dusky. IMO a bit pretentious when on in bright daylight though and doubt few would have their normal sidelights on all the time (Scandanavian Motors aside).

I have the DLR's de-activated on my E90. I also find myself turning off the auto lights some mornings as they come on when not needed when passing a shadowed stretch of road (regardless of the sesitivity). On the other hand I often switch on the angel eyes manually when dusky too cos I think it looks neat.

I am a little confused about the DRL's on E90's. I thought when activated both the headlights and side lights both came on all the time. Is this the case or, do only the angel eyes illuminate?
