LED Halo Brightness Coding Question

Creating another thread for future searching purposes

Anyways, none of the cheat codes for brighter halos are for LED's

I did some digging when coding off my amber side LED's

See pic below, is the 9th Werte value in related to the Halo brightness? I see it at 64 now, will changing it to 100 in Standicht Modus 1 & 2 for LHM 43 & 43 make my Halos for LED @ 100% all the time?

Figured I would ask before I code. Also not sure if any changes are needed in FEM_BODY, I would rather understand how to change this manually than use a cheat code.

Thanks in advance!

  1. Any vehicle with Xenon's or LED's has secondary light modules (eg, LHM/TMS in '15-'17 F80 or FLE in '18 F80) and coding is only changed there.
    • In your case, the coding is found in TMS (as pictured) & leave FEM alone.
    • The easiest way to determine which werte value to modify is to compare Tagfahrlicht (DRL) to Standlicht Modus 1/2 (low beams/driving).
  2. Werte values are in hexadecimal. Do not change 64 to 100.
    • Angel Eyes go from 100% (64) to 46% (2E) with low beams.

Always have the answers! Big thanks

A couple questions:

1. For LED headlights, were you able to disable amber sidemarkers?
2. For LED headlights, were you able to increase the Angel Brightness to 100% with low beams on?

In every car I have coded, this is possible. Though, 100% gives a washed out look that is also glaring to other drivers and I would advise against; instead, try 60%.

Thanks. I'm trying to understand how hex digits work / read... i'm guessing 60% = 3C?

Correct. Though, confusing part for FLE's is that Group 3004 number references 3005 behavior. As such, you do not directly set to 3C in 3004.

For my purposes, just coding 3005 is what I need to do, correct?
Compare Tagfahrlicht (DRL) to Standlicht Modus 1/2 (low beams/driving) to find the correct value to edit?

Incorrect. That is what you do for TMS. For '18 with FLE, it is DRL_Idx to POL1/2/3_Idx. And, as stated, you cannot directly change just werte value there to desired intensity as those 3004 wertes are references for 3005 values.

Another question sorry...in another thread regarding disabling amber sidemarkers with LED headlights, I got these instructions to code the TMS as per below.

For an '18, will I be doing exactly the same, but with the FLE instead?

-- Instructions --

For LED headlamps:

You'll need to FDL code both TMS modules (one is for the left light, one is for the right)

Within TMS, search for Standlicht Modus 1 & Standlicht Modus 2, and change the Werte Value 64 to 00 as follows:

Original: 00, 03, 00, 00, 64, 03, 00, 00, 64, 03, 00, 00, 2B, 04, 00, 00
Change: 00, 03, 00, 00, 00, 03, 00, 00, 64, 03, 00, 00, 2B, 04, 00, 00

General theory for determine which werte to modify is correct. However, you will not find Tagfahrlicht & Standlicht Modus 1/2 in FLE.

Plus, with TMS, you can directly change 64 (100%) to desired level (eg, 3C for 60%). It is not as simple for FLE. This is for my F015:
  • DRL_Idx: 01 01 0A 01 01 01 01 01 01 0B
  • POLI1_Idx: 01 01 0C 01 01 01 01 01 01 0B
OA hexadecimal is 10 decimal, but actual intensity is 64 (100%) as found in 3005.

This may help explain architecture.

Hi
I hv G30 adaptive led headlights.
I wish to reduce intensity of my front led drls to 20% only while headlights on or off.
Can you pl guide, which parameters i need to change in FLE or any other module.
Also I wish have tail lights as drl. How to code?
Thank you
Abhay gujar
