Default The big driving lights around grill area

While im waiting delievery on my new mini,the sales person informed me that the big driving lights will only operate when the high beams are on. Wondering if i can reverse this cause i want them on when my low beams are on.All my other cars the fog/driving lights turn off when high beams go on.

I think the sales person was wrong, the driving lights are supposed to go out when the high beams are turned on like all your other cars.

I agree with LAAutoAl, the sales person would be a new person or might not be knowing about your car. Just dont worry.

Nah, the driving lights only turn ON with the high-beams. The fog lights turn OFF with the high-beams.

Oh and no, there isn't a simple way to reverse it. You really shouldn't even if you could, they're BRIGHT and you would have a lot of pissed-off and blind people driving at you head-on.
