Living here in the damp and dreary Pacific Northwest, it's best to keep the headlights on for safety. My old Toyota truck you could leave the switch in the on position, but in the X5, if you do that, it's jumpstart time. If you have it in auto mode, the lights only come on when it's dark.

Is there any way to change this so that the headlights are on whenever the car is running?

Another question is that when you flip the high beams on by pushing forward, the halogen beams come on, but when you pull back, the standard high beams come on. Is there a way to either reverse this, or even have both come on? I honestly prefer the coverage of the standard bulbs
