How to drive with Halos Only On 335i Sedan?

I have noticed on the 335i 2door coupes that they have clear headlight front sidemarker without the orange.But my 4door has them.Is the only possible way is to replace the whole light assembly ?Also is there a way to just drive with the halos on only,again the 2door coupes seem to have this option?I would like to only have the halos on.thanks.i have looked at pics here with that option.

Have you tried looking in the owners manual? It describes how to change the settings using the BC buttons.

The e92/e93 uses the Halo's as DRL's, the pre-LCI e90 uses the inner headlights (flash-to pass, or high-beams on non-HID models, dimmed of course) as DRL's...

So as far as I know, here are your options...

1) Buy an e92/e93
2) Buy an LCI e90/e91
3) As someone else stated, have the DRL's turned off, then drive around with your park-lights on, however, your rear lights will be illuminated and your front running lights will be illuminated as well
4) Something else that I'm not aware of

^ AWESOME!

I'll be looking into that if I make this deal on an `07 335i...

Thanks for sharing!
