2018 M3 LED headlights

Hi all, for the life of me I cannot find how to turn on this light strip(see attached) along with daylight running lights. They only seem to work as turn signals. Does anyone know how I turn them on with DRL? I have the same headlight as in the photo.

Car is 2018 M3 comp package.

Thanks

As of 2018MY, the "eyebrow" has been made the turn signal and is no longer illuminated with the DRL. You can turn it on through coding, but it will be amber.

Anyone know if these headlights work for non-LCI headlights?

OK, now the question is clearer

The answer is no.

The answer is yes, you just need to modify them.
