Trying to *lower* the DRL LED brightness on LCI LED headlights
Howdy dudes.
I have a 2016 328i -- LCI -- with the LED headlights (non-directional). I think the daytime running lights are WAY too bright and want to tone them down. One major reason I got Bimmercode was to do this. It was set to 100%, from the factory, so I tried lowering it 4 times -- eventually all the way down to 10% -- but there's NO CHANGE. The value I set is stored, when I go into re-check, but the DRL is still functioning at 100%. All my other Bimmercode changes are working. Can I take care of this by going into "expert mode"? Anyone know the proper parameters to change -- I can't find anything definitive for the DRL LEDs (for LCI models), using the search -- although I may have missed it. Thanks a TON -- would be super stoked if I could get help figuring this out!!! -Nathan |

Are you worried about blinding other people? Or do you look at the front of your car a lot? haha I'm trying to figure out how to code them full power at night, I'll let you know if I figure it out. You would have to go into expert mode to lower values to do it. |

Regarding the DRLs: Just my opinion -- I think the LCI cars, with LED DRL lights, are just hella-fucking-bright. Like obnoxiously bright to where people have to squint. Plus, it is so ridiculously over-blown it looks WAY too washed out, to me. Hence, why I want to lower them down a bit. I'd think it could only help with longevity, as well, as I noticed there's heatsinks and active cooling fans, for these lights -- although that's would be a distant secondary advantage, if there even is any. |

Howdy -- just refreshing the post: I've been itching to dim these DRLs a bit since the day I got the car!
Hoping someone knows how to do this on the LCI LED headlights -- would really, really, really, make my day if anyone knew how to do this! = ) Thanks dudes. Last edited by natesi; 04-03-2019 at 09:55 AM.. |

Amazing that nobody knows how to do this manually.
I'll hit up BimmerCode, as the front-end of their app clearly isn't working right. Last edited by natesi; 04-05-2019 at 03:51 PM.. |

on FLE(s) module: POLI1_idx Poli2_idx poli3_idx set the value on those parameters, it's written in HEX. T

BimmerCode, themselves, confirmed that the app cannot alter the DRL brightness in F30 LCI cars with the LED headlights.
They also confirmed manual coding could be made in the FLE module, but their app cannot do that either (module not listed, so "expert mode" not available). = ( |

I’ve been messing with this due to having some lemon yellow drls that are WAY too bright. What I noticed while I was coding at night is that changing them from 100% to 10% creates less light in front of the car on the floor but when you look at them with your eyes they are still insanely bright. I guess what I am saying is that the dim function IS working but 10% is stupid bright and 100% is supernova af burn ur retinas bright. Shame.

I tried the latest bimmerlink update. It even has a section for FLE coding for angel eye brightness but doesn't seem to make a difference.
Anybody have any luck turning down the DRL brightness on LCI LED headlights? |
