Not quite accurate advice from xenon there. It depends on what FRM (or light module) you currently have. I have halogen lights on my 2013 pre-LCI F11; originally I had what you had:
Your current halogen lights have angel eyes as parking lights. If you put the switch in Auto position the dipped beam is on all the time.
I coded the FRM module. The folowing now happens depending on where the light switch is:
- Auto Lights - Daytime: Angel Eyes as DRL's (brightness can be adjusted in 5 steps), Nighttime: dipped beam
- Off - Everything off
- Parking lights - Angel Eyes only (stay on when the ignition is off)
- Dipped/Full beams

I did the the above coding using a Carly, which works perfectly.

The statement about angel eyes not being possible as DRL's might apply to lesser versions of the FRM, but it definitely works with FRM3 and halogens.

Lastly, you'll ask 'how do I know what FRM I have?'. The answer is through diagnostic software. I use INPA for this part, and Carly for the actual coding.
