If you've never been around DRL's, guys, you don't know what you are missing. They are literally wonderful things to help you be seen in traffic in the daytime. They really add to safety as other traffic will see you coming.

At night, they're OFF...like the description says, DAYTIME running lamps. They will be controlled as fog lamps when the HID's are on or will be totally overridden...either way is a good thing.

Yes, they will be available from the parts department. Think front end collision replacements. But, the question will be "can you afford them" and can you install them yourself? HID's have a really biga$$ed capacitor in them to store energy to fire them up. One misstep around that thing and you'll light yourself up like a cheap roman candle...no kidding. You should find a BMW X5 and read the warning label on theirs.

It's a lighting system, people, not an incurable disease diagnosis. You'll live through it somehow....
