Good day,

I am new to this forum and this is my first posting,I have read numerous link postings regarding how to configure the DRL's on a 2009 V8V for daytime running lights and how to go about doing so in the US/UK etc.I do know that for certain countries, these car features are different, for some its a standard feature and for others it's not an option depending on the country you reside.

My question is , from the last posting towards the ending of the post topic, i saw that it was mentioned that if you reside in the US/ North America and want that feature, aside from splicing or configuring wires,leaving your lights in the on position (I,II) , the other alternative is to go to the AM Dealership and have them flash the ECU to be able to use that feature.

Also, it was learned that if you decide to have the Dealership flash the ECU for that feature, the outcome is actually only the low beams staying on and not actually the LED's because that feature is not configurable, not in the US at least, it's not an option, is this correct?

That being so, then the logical and most practical thing to do is , if i want that feature and am not to keen on the low beams being on and prefer the LED's instead, would be to just leave my lights in the on position all the time , that way i would have the LED's on if in the parking mode but also the rear taillights would also be on and that you can't turn off, it comes with the territory so to speak...any advice?

Regards,

Basil
