My point is - they're not bright so don't expect much. Certainly no comparison to newer BMWs I pass running nice, bright LED halos as their DRLs.
Was going to mention that your 2006 V8 uses the halogens for DRLs but my 2005 I6 doesn't. My light switch has AUTO, OFF, PARKING LAMPS, and LOW BEAMS. I always have it in AUTO but when I want to turn on the halos I have to put it in PARKING LAMPS to keep the headlights off but turns on all the side markers as well.

When I ever get to doing the DRL halos I wont need to scan and tweak.

Wonder if the DRL halogens was a V8 thing or a 2006 thing.
