Has anyone seen the evoque with daytime running lights in operation? I would like to know what actually lights up is it the same as having your lights on at night or is it the equivalent of the parking lights or just a ring of light around the main light? Also with daytime running lights on are the rear lights on?

Hi Bob,
I did not see any DRL yet, as the vehicles here in the US at least, they are fully controlled by the dirver, no DRL sold; what I usually do is I keep the LOW LIGHTS on at all times (when in a highway), which only lights up the RING around the headlights, and sometimes I turn the fog lights on, they look really nice that way, since my EVOQUE does not have HID, and apparently the FOG and low lights are HID and my headlights are normal halogen which I only put them on at night in dark places, otherwise I always drive with fog lights, which the illuminate well for a city driving.
The only burden doing that is that MANY times I forget to turn them OFF and I get off the vehicle wihtout noticing the sign on the dashboard advising of LIGHTS ON! which is sometimes difficult to see when you get out quickly.
take care,

The daytime running lights are supposed to be only LED's on all models. The Pure and Pure Plus have no rings around the lights, that's only on the Premium packages with the Xenon or HID hedlights or further upgrades. If you have the halogens, the DRL's consist of setting up the parking lights as DRL's or the low beam headlights. Either choice is not what I relish. I'm going to install aset of LED's in the front and wire them to an ignition relay so they go on and off with the car. Then they will always be on, day and night, and I don't have to worry about turning them on or off.
My spouses LR4 has the odd shaped rings and "eyebrow" LED's as DRL's. Bright enough and dealer activated.
