Some have added DRLs under the xenons (not in the fogs, like RR). I forget who has. Didn't like them at first, but they're growing on me.

On the halogen units it just keeps the headlight on all the time.  Xenon unit could be different as side-lights are different bulbs - like shown in your pic.

Those are the sidelights on the xenons, you can see them on on my car in this pic:

The indicator is also housed in the same area and flashes orange (distinct from yellow).
The dude in the first pic has just got xenon colourmatch sidelights.
