I recently changed my angel eyes and they look sweet, however i see that many members have pictures of their angel eyes and the daytime running lights arent on. It looks ugly because the day time running lights are orange. What should i do remove the bulb? But that will give me an error or should i just change the light bulb to different color. If so what are some good light bulbs to get

 

In the iDrive, if you go under options and go to lights or something settings, search for it and you'll find it. It says Daytime Running Headlights On/Off
switch to off and you'll be fine

 

what are day time running lights iv seen this option on the idrive but have no idea what it is

 

*For US spec 5er* If you don't want DRL, you need the dealer to turn it off via programming in iDrive. Otherwise, change it to the white color bulb (4500/6000k), try Sylvania or Philips

 

I have the same problem so instead of the yellow lights I changed it out to Artic White H7 Bulbs. Looks a little better than OEM.

 

ok thanks guys will look to pick some lights up this weekend

 

iwant to ask also in Idrive there is daytime light on\off in my e60 2007 put i press ON , and ididnt see any lights running on in daytime , what is the beneft of this , or just for LCI ?

 

If you have the LCI E60, you can turn off DRL's in the iDrive system.

 

I think because DRLs operate at reduced voltage even "white" lamps don't appear really white in running mode; that is untill you flash to pass - then they go white.

 

I went to my dealer about this, my problem was the "auto light function" switch. I said the lights were on even in bright sunshine and did not go off.

I was told the previous owner had the DRL selected through the idrive. So I assume they are lights that are on permanently when you select the "auto lights" function on the switch i.e. one click left.

Now that I have disabled it through the idrive the switch reverts to "auto lights" i.e. come on when it gets dark.


Hope this helps
