Any links to when you installed HIDs in your LCIs?

From looking at the pics, you sit a lot closer to the wheel than I do!
I think there's some in my gallery

If you're going to block your license plate, YOU might as well block the reflection too, WE can still SEE it, lol
Ha I know, to be honest I was sick of photoshop at that point

See if you can find someone to help you code off your DRL and manually wire up AE as DRL
I could but I actually prefer the low beams as DRL as they're more visible (to traffic)

Similar type just sprayed matte black.

You mean your high beam.

Unless you literally run with your low beam on all day, which is nonsensical, and just burning the life of your bulbs.

No, low beams. They're the DRLs in european BMWs (at least pre-LCI e60s), maybe in the states is different but if you had your high beams on all the time people would go crazy lol
Anyway in Ireland it is always cloudy/dark so most of the time it makes sense.

Yah you're mistaken. It's the inner reflector that's on, so that's your high beam. In DRL mode, the high beam is running at reduced power, so it's not full 55w.

Your low beams are your projectors (LCI halogen), unless you screwed up your wiring for your conversion harness.

Yes the inner ones are high beams and I have turned them on myself on purpose, doesn't come on at with DRL. DRL are outter beams + AEs only.
US spec maybe not, this is the way they're done in Europe at least (same way before the LCI upgrade)

@topic starter, very sick car! Perhaps you should try Adobe Lightroom for editing your photo's, it cuts your Photoshop time by 90%


Btw, Mine(LCI) runs only the AE's as DRL and xenon+eyebrows as low beam when it turns dark or when I enter a tunnel. High beam is xenon as well and after a bit of coding I got my xenon fogs to work as welcome lights
