I have seen the newer LCI e60's have angel eyes as the DRL's but the pre LCI's have the DRL 's thru the xenon's... Is there any way to get the angel eyes to become the DRL's on a pre LCI e60??? I would really like to have this mod done but can't find any info on having them switched over... Is this even an option for pre LCI cars??

Thanks!

Well my friend, I can barely see my Angel Eyes at night when my garage light is turned on, how is someone going to manage to see our pre lci lights running as a DRL, at daytime ?

Umnitza Orion V2 is ur answer.

Going to clear this up for you. For pre-LCI, the DRL is NOT xenon, it is the high beam running at a reduced current. This is the same for both xenon and halogen. I offer the service of enabling the angel eyes as DRL for pre-LCI. However, unless you have aftermarket solution such as Orion v2, or Mtec v2 equivalent, your angel eyes won't be visible during day time anyway.

If you are interested, PM me and we will discuss. I can also fade on your angel eyes on/off with key unlock/lock, and other things as well. I am only offering my services for two more weekends, as I will be relocating.

I should have been more clear, I know the angel eyes are not the same thing as the xenons and are a seperate piece... Not sure about which angel eye bulb I have but will look into it, bought them from trinity... I'll get in touch with you soon. Thanks!

Yup, more clear would be nice. In fact, I am even more confused by your last response.

In your first post you said DRLs for pre-LCI's are xenon lights -- which I am saying it's not. Your post above is saying the angel eyes are not the same thing as xenons. But of course?

DRLs have nothing to do with xenons.

pre-LCI drl = inner bulbs/circles/lamps of the headlight units (I believe the OP is using the word "xenon" and inner bulb/lamp interchangeably causing the confusion)

LCI DRL = angel eyes/halo's

I think the OP wants to know if he can program or wire his AE's to be his DRL's for his pre-LCI e60...


most with pre-LCI e60's just have the dealer deactivate the DRL function (since you can't control it via iDrive like LCI e60's) and just turn on their parking lamps/one click to the right = AE's on

Haha my bad, i got you man, thats what I meant. I want to run the AE's as the day time running lights.

Guess I need to get the correct AE output bulb to be visable during the day time (Orion v2, or Mtec v2) and then this mod will make sense.

Any recomendations on who has the cheapest AE's (Orion v2, or Mtec v2)?

Hopefully that puts us all on the same page and takes out the confusion.

you can't see angel eyes during the day on pre-lci cars? why can i see mine? i'm confused. but no, mine are not DRL.

i can control my DRLs from idrive. i am pretty certain my car is pre-LCI. i have a 2007, isn't LCI only 2008+?

there seems to be a lot of misinfo in this thread, or i have LCI and i didn't know it.
