Electrical LED driving lights that do not trigger light out?

Same thing on my 11 MCS. (I assume you are talking about the lights mounted low in the front bumper cover. FWIW, I have been told these are called fog lights.) Mine never came on when I turned on my lights, always had to switch them on manually. Now with the LED's same deal, gotta turn them on manually, but also trips the "bulb out" indicator. When the car is started (with headlight switch in ON position), they do a neat "strobing" thing for a couple of seconds while the bulb test is happening.

Driving lights? Do you mean daytime running lights? Or fog lights? Or auxiliary lights? You wrote that you wanted them on all the time so I think you're asking about DRLs and I'll go with that.
You can code the car to use the city lights (lights above the fog lights) only as DRL with NCS Expert. Note that it has a bit of a learning curve that's covered in other threads but it's the only way to turn off the headlights and other lights used for DRL.
If you go this route, I used a pair of these (http://store.ijdmtoy.com/High-Power-...s-p/10-323.htm) and they worked well with no errors...but died after 1 year.
I just bought a pair of these (http://www.ecstuning.com/Mini-2011-C.../LED/ES2684738) to replace them and again no errors...but the light isn't really bright enough for a pair of DRLs.
