Default self administered sobriety test.

keep your head still and move the car side to side, keeping your eyes on the leds.

Default ambient lighting. When the parking/low beams are on they are on. maybe even during the day when the

parking/low beams are off but i wouldn't know, i always have my low beams on.

it's to cause ambient light so when you are driving at night your eyes don't strain too hard

Default My fiancee uses em to stare at her diamond at night

They're ambient lights of course. Very handy also, to see where you're hand is reaching at night.
