Daylight running lights...confused

[xcalibur]

I've wondered about this for a while now, maybe you guys know the answer to this.

On my 320d LCI (halogen) daylight running lights are enabled in the setting menu. If I put the switch on "0" no lights come on. When I switch it to "Auto" the angel-eyes + dims turns on, whether I'm in daylight or in shade. I can only get the angel-eyes alone if I turn the switch to "Parking Lights".

The 320i loaner I got has Xenon. On "0" or "Auto" only the angel-eyes are on and dims only activate when driving into "shaded" areas.

Why can't I get angel-eyes ONLY on "0" and "Auto" on my car? Why does the dims also turn on?

Hey, it's not too expensive :thumbsup:

I would ask the dealer, maybe a software upgrade can fix this.

True, but I was kind of hoping it was something I was doing wrong. Did not know the Halogens do not make use of the angel-eyes alone as DRLs.

I can only try. Will ask them when I collect my car.

Dealers are usually no help whatsoever when it comes to coding..

If it is something that can be enabled in Autologic then you would be lucky maybe one of the guys on the forums who dabbles with it would know?

Like you said. They don't really know. Maybe someone on here?

Hey @ri
Did you come right with disabling the Dipped beams on DRLs?

Just a FYI... if you ask the dealer they refuse to do it for you... with xenon and AE's both on when you switch drl on. they too full of kak if you still on MP...

Just wire up the angels to a 12V power source like your lighter so that they're on all the time essentially DRL's

Same on my 335: "I can only get the angel-eyes alone if I turn the switch to "Parking Lights"..."

But I like it like this :thumbs:

Its BMW's way of punnishing for not getting the Xenons

My Old e90 323i with xenons had a different issue I setting the daytime running lights on or putting the light switch to full on was the same

Never bothered upgrading the software though

It does sound like the software on the car.
