OK so I should know better, I should

But, I shall ask the E90 Gurus ........ to my knowledge I dont have auto lights, however in the off position the Halos are lit - is this normal? Are the Halos lit all the time? (not that I mind)

I've also noticed that if I turn the light switch to side lights, activating the Halos they dim - in comparasion to them being lit in the off position??

They dim because when the side lights are off, they act as DRL's. You should be able to turn off the DRL's via the left OBC stalk or idrive if you have it.

Makes sense now, having now done a little google on DRTs I find this.. http://www.bmw.co.uk/bmwuk/bmwcorpor...html?selPage=6

Seems daft to have them brighter than the sidelights though?

Think of it this way.

DRL's need to be bright, to be seen in daylight

If you turn them off, then you just have ordinary lights.

Do the tail lights light up on DRL?

Yes they do. But instrument and dash lights don't, but strangly they do on M3's

You've been most helpful thanks creepy coupe!

Shame these DRL's and side lights are not as white as the Xenons.
