Does anybody know how to switch Daylight Running Ligthts off?

Used to be able to do it on my A5 through MMI, but nothing on the S4...

It's in the MMI (Car, Exterior Lighting) on my 2010 B8.

Why do you want to switch them off? Don't you think they look cool?

What age is your car

I think they are mandatory now

Can't see how to switch off in either of my main cars either

All road cars manufactured after a certain date must have front running lights on when the engine is running and the main lights are off to improve your visibility to others. The Halfords website of all places has some info about it.

They do, but there are places that require all lights to be off, like when boarding the Eurotunnel trains (at least until 2 years ago...)

Thanks for the info, the law says cars manufactured from February 2011 have to have mandatory DRLs, hence the reason why I can't switch them off....
