Don't know for sure until we get them but I was referring to this shot from the video. The swoosh is the only light in in the shot so maybe but the DRL function in our cars does not engage until the P brake is disengaged so they may have had the brake on or had their DRL feature turned off. In the other aftermarket lights (Vipmotoz specifically) the swoosh is the Parking/city light and the Hi beam would be on at 30% power. Hopefully this set only has the swoosh on as the DRL and the hi beam is off while driving.

Here's a shot of my car with Vipmotoz Note the faint highbeam light (at 30% power) while the stalk was on parking/city lights mode.

My dealer has adamantly refused to turn mine off citing safety issues and wouldn't even let me sign a waiver. I have the stock 2010 HID lights with a CANBUS error free LED in the Hi's now which is far better than the ugly stock halogen bulb.

I had Vipmotoz for a season but even that, to have the swoosh on it would need to be in parking/city lights mode on the stalk and the Hi beam would be on at 30%. Looked kinda meh.

Well we should find out soon about all these questions. Waiting for an actual user review. Will post one as well once I get and install them.
just buy the techstream app and cable from Ebay for $20 and disable the DRL your self

​​​​​​I just got a package notice from USPS on my door when I got home. I'm off Wednesday so I'll stop by the post office. I hope it's the lights.

Edit: Nevermind I think it's a Watch bracelet I ordered for one of my Orises
