Hello,
For weeks now I have been looking for a solution to my "Parking Light Malfunction" errors I have from my Halogen LCI headlight retrofit.
I need to update the software on the Lighting Module to accept the difference in resistance (or whatever) from my Angel Eyes bulbs that is throwing the errors. I've learned that simply disabling the warm/cold bulb checks will not solve this issue.
Can someone please give me some advice on what to do here, or where to look for the LM software that could fix this?
I really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Patrick

Thanks, but I read that disabling those checks alone will not stop the errors... See my first post.

EDIT:
A member on another board said this : "you cannot simply code out bulb test you also need to update LM to newest software plus add LCI to Fa"
Where do i find this "newest software" and what does he mean by "LCI to Fa"?

I haven't done any coding yet. Disabling the bulb checks is first on my list:
FEHLERMELDUNG_CC_SL_V_L
nicht_aktiv
FEHLERMELDUNG_CC_SL_V_R
nicht_aktiv
KALTUEBERWACHUNG_SL_V_L
nicht_aktiv
KALTUEBERWACHUNG_SL_V_R
nicht_aktiv
WARMUEBERWACHUNG_SL_V_L
nicht_aktiv
WARMUEBERWACHUNG_SL_V_R
nicht_aktiv
BUT. I don't want to waste my time if it's not going to work. That's why I'm asking for advice. Have you done a LCI headlights retrofit? Have you coded out the bulb checks? Did you get the errors to go away?

if you know what you're doing, it takes a few minutes to code.
i went from pre-lci xenons to lci xenons. i didnt take out the bulb check.
but your bulbs work i assume, so i dont know why you are getting an error. unless you have a wiring issue.
did you rewire the connectors? could you be getting an error for the drl lights or something other than angel eyes?

I think I mentioned this before ... pre-LCI halogen uses 2 parking lights for each headlight as oppose to LCI halogen only one ... so try to combine both pre-LCI wires and feed it into the LCI wire.
In my case I combined both parking lights wires on each pre-LCI halogen HL into a relay to drive the 35w LCI Xenon AE before I fully did LCI light conversion.
