Coding out: 3 little Amber LED's in the headlights?

Boostin FD · 10-29-2014, 01:29 PM

Has anyone successfully coded out those amber little leds in the headlights? I'm not a fan of Amber light and had it disabled before on my e92 M3... For some reason the code posted for the F8X doesn't work.

Has anyone done it yet?

I tried like crazy ne couldn't figure it out... I'm not giving up though just need more time to sit and code

I spent 2 hours messing around with each those lights... at one point I messed up blinkers completely... Gave up in the end. It's hidden somewhere good.

Thanks bud!

Any updates?

I tried for a while and couldn't get it off. Then the other day we were out taking some photos and noticed that they aren't actually always on depending on what state your car is in (engine on vs off, lights auto vs manual)... might be a clue? Find the variable that determines when they are activated and then lock it in perhaps

Need this done so baddd!!! Work your magic people

Boostin FD · 11-25-2014, 09:13 PM

Did any company that charges for coding figure it out? If I have to pay for it, I'll do it. It's ruining the look of my white M ;-)

I screwed around with last weekend and nothing. We need a German speaking members to go thru some of it.

LukasAT · 11-26-2014, 08:06 AM

You tried this? I heard it should work ... and I speak German, what do you need?

FEM_BODY Module:

Turn off Amber Side Markers next to Headlight:
3063 MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_OUTPUT = OFF
3063 MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_OUTPUT = OFF

nothing.

Boostin FD · 01-02-2015, 08:32 AM

Anyone?

YMB-M3-J2 · 01-02-2015, 10:13 AM

I changed every setting under the side marker files and nothing happened at all. I honestly think they are not in the same files as the cars with Xenon. I also can't adjust my corona ring brightness like I could on my F30 with Xenon. The files are there but it just doesn't do anything

Boostin FD · 01-02-2015, 10:57 AM

I did the same thing... went through every file in there and ended up messing up the lights... but those 3 damn things never turned off.

Are yiu referring to the otherwise known as parking lights? In my case they are halogen orange lights, I guess they are LED if you have the LED lighting package? And just noticed they are ON when light switch is on auto. I can't stand them. Too bad no one figured it ou tbut a member posted in my thread that he had it done without the details http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1154498

dmnc02 · 07-25-2015, 07:40 AM

This should do it for LEDs (but I haven't confirmed this on my car since they don't bother me):

Both TMS modules, FDL Code Standlicht Modus 1 & Standlicht Modus 2, change the Werte Value 64 to 00 as follows:
00, 03, 00, 00, 64, 03, 00, 00, 64, 03, 00, 00, 2B, 04, 00, 00
00, 03, 00, 00, 00, 03, 00, 00, 64, 03, 00, 00, 2B, 04, 00, 00

Just to complete this thread, it works for Xenon cars to take out the side Amber/orange light in auto mode. Credits to TonySCV
