Cool Headlight Trick

I just discovered this today on my way home. If you move the headlight switch between the ON and AUTO settings during the day, you can have both the DRLs and HID lights on at the same time. Looks pretty neat and could come in handy for photo shoots.

maybe because the Tl S has so much HP that it will overload running the DRLs and HIDS

If you could get the DRL's and fogs to come on at the same time, that would be great!
