Default Day Running Lights

Did anyone notice the day running lights has 2 settings on the 3IS.
1- when the headlights are off, they are pretty strong.
2- when the headlights are on, the DRL is weak.

i didn't find an option in the car to fix that. what i want is to have the strong beam at night and it won't give me that unless i turn off the lights totally. i think they look much better at night and we don't really need the headlights here since the road are all lit up(well we do but its sexier with just the drill on).

Anyone cracked this? please advice.

The reason why they go dimmer at night is because they're TOO BLINDING in pitch dark...

They go full bright during the day because the contrast is not as blinding to on-coming traffic... So please DO NOT change this...

it just defeat the purpose of the DRL and no manufacturer would offer such option in the menu (some people like to code their BMW and Audi to have max brightness for their DRL all the time but they are just too selfish and didn't considerate the others on the road)

DO NOT ADJUST THEM!!!! the DRL's at full brightness at night will blind people!!! they are really bright at night! IMO, leave them as they are!!!!
