So the headlights are turned on at full intensity as soon as the engine fires? Same for the rear lights and "position lights"? TIA.

....yes no change. I am always in the cockpit when I try to observe this so I would have to have an observer to give you a verified answer of yes...I often don't bother with the last detent at night

I will check it out again when I am next in the car. It makes sense design-wise as full intensity better is for better vis during the day

I originally thought the DRLs were lower intensity than the regular low beams, and thought when I was installing my Fred lights that I'd have to find some other way of getting DRL. Then I checked the DRL voltage and found it was full. No mods required!

Now the only problem is that if my xenons burn out early, I'll have to send my new ones to Particlewave for the required modification...
