Parking lights as well. I can't find anything that shows where they are, only that they exist.

If I had mine I'd go look but the only thing I have is a receipt from the dealer for my deposit.

From the manual;

Daytime Running Lights
The parking/daytime running lights come on when the following conditions have been met:
• The power mode is in ON.
• The headlight switch is in AUTO.
• The parking brake is released.
The lights remain on even if you set the parking brake. Setting the power mode to
VEHICLE OFF (LOCK) will turn off the daytime running lights.
The daytime running lights are off once the headlight switch is turned on, or when
the headlight switch is in AUTO and it is getting darker outside.

Yep, I read that. What I'm asking is where are they physically located?

Just a matter of curiosity.

I haven’t seen them neither, but I’m guessing they are in the front part of the car. Prolly near the lights.

I wonder if there are any You Tubes that show the car being driven?

The parking lights are the DRLs when the switch is set to the first setting below AUTO. The amber lights next to the DRLs are the required side marker lights whenever the parking lights, or headlights are on.

On the second video,, by Sofyan,, how did they do the switching on and off and alternating between the LED headlights, the amber turn signals and the DRL lights ?
Is there a switch or options somewhere that can do this ?

Obviously the amber lights can flash with the emergency flashers or the turn signal. I believe the DRL flashing you see is due the camera frame rate interaction with the DRL LED drivers (many LEDs are driven with a PWM signal that switches on and off rapidly and when the frequency is near the camera frame rate, you can see flashing on video that you can't see with your eye). The effect is called aliasing and is also the reason why in some films or video, you sometimes see car wheels (or wagon wheels for a western) turn slowly, freeze, or even turn backward.
