Question Do your daytime running lights turn off when you turn on your Xenons??

Or do the daytimes stay on even when the Xenons are on?

They turn off...until you use your highbeams, then they light up at full voltage.

Your parking lights come on with your headlights.

Parking lights are orange though, not amber (yellow) right?

The parking lights for the RX are white (or the white/yellow color from a regular incandescent bulb). The amber blinker does not light up as the parking lights.

OK, and that is why I ask. Do you think it looks weird to have Xenons with the amber parking lights on at the same time?? Maybe its just me.
How many watts do those parking lights run at anyways?

mjr24, I don't mind it. I like for my low-beams to be xenon and the others to look like (seeing as how they are) halogens. IMO, it sets off the xenons more so.
