In Canada, you can't turn off the DRLs.
My auto lights turn on in bright sunlight but usually when it is low in the sky and the system is designed to make you highly visible both front and rear. Ever been in bright sunlight where you can't always see the guy in front? When the full headlights are on the rear lights are also on so I feel there is a logic to having the full system on in bright sunlight thats low in the sky.
My dash stays white in sunlight even with the headlights on but turns red when it gets darker outside. I think the "DOT" controls that.

The adaptive part of the headlights only works with 'auto' mode.
Wipers on='auto' headlights on.
All these features were the same in my E60, except the colour of the dash, of course.
