Is there no way to drive the car with the low beams off?

P.S.: I'm in Canada. Maybe the MINIs in Canada/US have different options from the UK due to local regulations?

True, in Canada, law requires them to be on. MINI should have used the fog lights for daytime running lights...less wear & tear on the Xenons
