Bizarre Parking Lamp Message

If you have the bi-zenons and adaptive headlamps, then the "highbeams" are used for the daytime running lamps at 1/2 strength. These (inner lamps) are also the "flashing lamps". I believe that the bulbs should be H7s, not the H8s that you mentioned.

At least there's no permanent dash light for it lol

So I added load resisters on the right side, which was the problem area. Then the problem jumped to the left side! So I added load resisters to the left side headlamp thinking I finally had the gremlin cornered, and now at startup, I get a quick left/right parking lamp malfunction message, then it self corrects and stays extinguished for the remainder of the drive.
I guess I'll have to live with that. I'm chalking this one up to my 2007.5 model year, half Mexican edition half German edition. It goes away so fast I'm not sure its even worth addressing further. Annoying though, after several hours of coding, labor and about $50 in load resistors, still an issue, albeit a different one.

Code the voltage monitoring out on your halos. Use Carly for BMW or one of the other software packages.

So I have a similar issue, not sure if i should create my own thread or not.
I started getting the left daytime/running lamp error about a month ago. Im currently using the h8 lux bulbs from n54 tuning. i checked the angel eyes and its working. I dont get it. is there another bulb that could casue this error?

For example, the ICETEC units we sell for H8 work great in every H8 application except the F01 and E63/4 LCI. For those cars, it requires a special resistor that we sell as a separate (same price) option.
So get this... I unplugged the passenger side headlamp and found the two wires that feed 12v to each angel eye ring respectively - add a load resistor - and STILL am getting the Right Front Parking Lamp error message!
I'm gonna try resetting the LCM tomorrow through DIS/GT1. I'm out of ideas after that. This is so beyond annoying I cannot even begin to articulate. Stay tuned. I will find the issue!

DRL are the high beam at 50% on 2004-2007 cars.
Flash to pass on 2004-2007 is the inner "high beam", 2008+ is the bixenon shutter.

Best idea yet. Most people don't have that and a capacitor tends to work better in terms of one-time cost, but coding definitely the way to go.

As mentioned, I started this by coding off all six checking functions for the parking lamps. Did the exact same procedure on my 2006 M5 and never had a single issue, plus I did verify the coding "took" because when I read the LCM script, the changes are there.

are you using LED turn signals? do they flash fast when signaling?
Negative on the LED turn signals. Standard incandescent bulbs in there.
this is how resistors work, they trick the computer AFTER it does the check. So you will see this until you do a capacitor and/or what JTB says below.
Good info. Makes sense. Adding the capacitor to where exactly? Headlamp \_/ resistor \_ / chassis - where do they go in that order? Place an "X" in the appropriate spot please (I'm a simpleton) lol
