DRLs

What's the problem with driving with the lights on?

I have no problem with that

Do we know what part of the Xenon headlamps are used for the daytime running light function? Surely not the dipped beam?

With the cost of Xenon bulbs i don't fancy running round with them on permanently!

If this is the case i will be getting the DRL feature switched off, maybe on Xenon cars the sidelights are the Daytime running lights?

I don't quite get the difference either

This picture shows just the inner pair of lights on

And this shows the outer pair, plus the fogs plus the little lights by the indicators

If it's just the inner pair then i'm gonna leave mine on,i usually have the sidelights on anyway,if it's the xenon dipped beam then i'll have them turned off and just use the sidelights during the day.I hope that's the case but it's a bit strange that if the lights are switched on in one of those photos (ie not just the DRLs) that the sidelights aren't on aswell,usually when you have the headlights on the sidelights stay on aswell don't they? Maybe it's all photoshop though.
