Halo confusion?

My 2007 328xi halos are not on when only my daylight running lights are on. Shouldn't the halos be on all the time? Anyone know the issue? Or is this normal?

Not necessarily, but they can be programmed to stay on as the DRL's permanently.

I'm new to the BMW brand as well and have an '09 328i. It has the DRLs as well. When the DRLs (inside set of headlights and normally high beams) are on, so are the inner halos. The outer halos are off. I can turn off the DRLs via the cluster controls but, in that state, no halos whatsoever. Everything is just off. When the dim headlights are on, both the inner and outer halos are on.

You will get all sorts of conflicting responses as to the halos or, angel eyes, and their behavior. I think it varies somewhat depending on year/model but, as for the standard 328i '09, the behaviors is as outline above.

I wanted to find a way to turn of the DRLs and just use the AEs for that. Alas, not an option without modifications of some sort.

I fiddled around with the programming through the dash navigation area. I couldn't program the halos. But I programmed the DRLs to not be on at all. And even though I did this, the halos are still not on. They only come on when I turn on my fog lights, or when I turn in my parking lights. Any other suggestions?

we have the DRL harness in stock, and you can use your angel eyes in the daytime

On your year/body they do not come on and cannot be user programmed to come on. Take a look at e92lighting's harness. That is your solution.
