Default DRL dimmer?

Sorry about the vague topic I'm not really sure but it seems when the lights are in the Auto position and you hit the fog button then the xenon lights are activated. So instead of having that on during the day I usually put it in the parking lights position but I've noticed that the DRL dim themselves then if it were in the Auto position, the difference is like night and day anybody else notice this or know how to fix it?

No fix, it is supposed to be like that. If you have them on Auto and its days light the LED lights are pretty bright. If you put the lights into the "O" off position the LEDs dim. If you put the side lights on the LEDs Dim.

If you park up in front of a garage or window or something you can see the lights go through the motions. You will also notice that when you signal the LED also dims so the indicator shows up more. Pretty nice feature.

It is possible to put the side lights on (LEDs on DIM only) and hit the front fog lights. Does yours not do that?

It does that, I didn't like the way it dimmed though, guess I'll have to deal with it!
