1- Enable your high beam as DRL with 80/100% power as the following

for LM1 :

DRL_V_GEDIMMT -> aktiv
DRL_WERT_DIMMUNG -> wert_01

For LM2 :

VERHALTEN_DRL_TFL_33 -> drl_h
PWM_FL_FKT_DRL_33 -> wert_03

2- Enable your flash to pass Bixenon

BI_XENON_BEI_LH -> aktiv
PWM_ANST_FL_BIXENON -> wert_03 ( this makes turn on the bixenon even your low beam is off )

3- Disable the cold - hot and check control for the high beam ( H7) , looks like LM1 is different from LM2 , in my LM2 the codes are

KALTUEBERWACHUNG_FL_L -> nicht_aktiv
KALTUEBERWACHUNG_FL_R -> nicht_aktiv
WARMUEBERWACHUNG_FL_L -> nicht_aktiv
WARMUEBERWACHUNG_FL_R -> nicht_aktiv
FEHLERMELDUNG_CC_FL_L -> nicht_aktiv
FEHLERMELDUNG_CC_FL_R -> nicht_aktiv

Or maybe in LM1 will be . not sure so please confirm it guys with LM1

KALTUEBERW_FL_L -> nicht_aktiv
KALTUEBERW_FL_R -> nicht_aktiv
WARMUEBERW_FL_L -> nicht_aktiv
WARMUEBERW_FL_R -> nicht_aktiv
FEHLERMELDUNG_CC_FL_L -> nicht_aktiv
FEHLERMELDUNG_CC_FL_R -> nicht_aktiv

4- You will have to do a small job inside your headlight but you don't need to remove the headlight :

A) Remove your high beam bulb as we don't need it anymore ( it will not work as HIGH beam anyway )
using T tap terminal , link it to the current of the high beam ( + ) , also use a diode right after the T tap terminal to prevent the current from the angel eyes to reach the LMA through the high beam link ,
c) Cut the angel eyes + cable from the connector side and put a diode to prevent the current of the high beam to reach the LMA through the angel eyes link ,,
d) Link the diode from the angel eyes current to the angel eyes power box as well as the link from the T tap which connected to the high beam ..

Result,, your angel eyes works as DRL , it will also work with the low beam at night ..

if you don't have the option for day running light in your I-drive / light menu ,, you can enable it ( DAY_RUN_LIGHT_CCC -> aktiv ) so you can also switch off/on the angel eyes if needed .

Will try to get some pictures to make things clear but you are expert and I?m sure you know what I?m talking about ..

Cheers

It seems to be = VERHALTEN_DRL_TFL -> drl_s (default is drl_h which is high beam) if I understand them correctly.

--RR.

Blasti, can you link to that thread? The last time I checked that board, I was still under the impression that it is not possible, and they have found no values that can do that for pre-LCI.

Sure, it's here = http://www.e90post.c...=451145&page=71 -> page #71 starting on post #1549, may not be for pre-LCI... I'm not sure.

Have fun & GL!

In LCI's there's a value for angel eyes, and I know what that is (but it's irrelevant since LCI can activate it as DRL anyway). I have personally disabled angel eyes check for LCI's to remove the need for resistors.

The issue at hand is that there's no known value for pre-LCI angel eyes that can be substituted into the DRL entry.

edit: Humm shoot, I just read it, and the guy says it is pre-LCI for his E90. Weird. Well, I will take a look when I get a chance, I don't believe that we have those values in LMA, so his find is still moot to us E60s.

edit 2: I stand corrected. I just checked out the LMA files I have backed up from a couple different cars, and VERHALTEN_DRL_TFL does exist for E60s.

For the two pre-LCI's I have records of, the values are drl_h. I also have the value for a LCI M5 that had the value drl_s. However! His entry was not VERHALTEN_DRL_TFL, it was VERHALTEN_DRL_TFL_33.

Someone should run NCSDummy to see if drl_s is an acceptable value for pre-LCIs.

One other note. I don't believe that VERHALTEN_DRL_TFL exist for non-xenon cars. I don't have it on my LMA.

The one I pulled that has _33 was a LCI.

Now, the drl_s seems to be what is activating the AE for the E9x people. If this doesn't seem to work for the E60, that seems like another dead end, lol.
