2013 LED DRL at night?
I just recently (as of two days ago) purchased a 2013 RX 350. First off, I wanted to express appreciation to the members of the forum for all the valuable information they have provided. I found the compiled links, questions/answers, and information very helpful when deciding the type and features of the RX I wanted. It was very helpful!
Now, to my question. I know the 2013 RXes are fairly new, and that this year they started shipping with the LED daytime running lights. My question is whether, for purely aesthetic reasons, you could somehow set the LED DRLs to illuminate regardless of whether the main headlights are on or not.
As I understand it, when the headlights come on (at night) the DRLs turn off. Admittedly, I'd love for them to remain on, because I've seen other cars (I think Audis?) with their LED DRLs on at night, and it looks really cool. I thought it would be nice if the RXes could do the same thing! But unfortunately, I don't see an option to allow for that (unless it is that way, and I couldn't see them during the day when I turned on the headlights).
Any assistance would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Welcome!
but the DRLs are supposed to remain on even when the low beam headlights are on. All they do is dim a bit from their maximum light output when the headlights are off.
The arrows should still be lighted. Double check this is is the case.

Thank you for your responses! I will have to take a look tomorrow to see how the DRLs behave. It's nice to know that there is hope for the blinginess I wanted.
