I have an 05 9-3 Arc. Because it has Xenon headlights, DRLs are "headlights on" all the time. The position of the headlight switch is irrelevant. This, of course, drove me nuts. After checking the Tech II programming notes in the 9-5 FAQ, I took the car to the dealer. I had them set both the headlights and the foglights to "Option 1 - Euro" (as opposed to the "Option 3 - USA" setting). Instead of my headlights being on all the time, the headlight switch now controls the lights as designed:
0 - Off. Completely off. No lights, no DRLs.
P - Parking lights AND city lights (the little 7w bulbs in the reflectors of the high beam). Way cool.
H - Headlights and parking lights on.
Setting the foglights to "Euro" results in being able to turn on the fogs not only with the headlights, but with just the parking lights, as well.
I am in control again. My impending journey to the insane asylum has been delayed.
