Hello,
I wondered if there is any option to turn on halo or low beam light or any headlight when you unlock your car.
It would be helpful at night when you park outside. Mine is 2005 545i. Does anyone know about it?
Thank you.

I do believe on the LCi's there is the option for the delay timing. Also my running lights ( parking lights ) and Angel Eyes come on on the unlock.
I don't know if it is an option in the "I" menu on iDrive. I seem to recall many of the lighting option functions are only Adj. on the LCI's. Some of the features may be able to be changed by the dealer, at a cost....

want a solution, there a DIY if ur willing to do it.let us know,ive been struggling in finding someone to do it.here you go .gd luck
Buy 2 BUSHING CONTACT 0,2- 0,5MM? 61130005197 (N.B. these contacts come with a foot of black wire attached to each of of them)
1. Remove plastic trim pieces from driver and passenger footwells.
2. Remove glovebox.
3. Remove fuse panel from behind glovebox.
4. Remove the 54 pin plug X13252 from the light module behind the fuse panel.
5. Open up the 54 pin plug X13252 and insert two 61130005197 into positions 53 (right) and 54 (left). You will need to lift a side catch flap in order for the connector to go completely and snap into the plug.
This will give you your 12V outputs. Now connect up two diodes 1N4007 to these two wires so side opposite to the Silver line of the diode is connected to the wires coming out of the LCM. This will now protect your LCM from the voltage going back from the angel eyes in normal use.
Now you need to connect these diodes to the wires that feed the angel eyes. It really is quite simple.
