Wanted to know if its possible to mod the car in such a way that side mirror lights come on when the headlights turn on at night? I know it turns on when you unlock the car.

Yes there is always a way, but why would you want to do that?

Ahh, I see. I agree that the lights do look cool when they are lit, but I dunno about always on during driving. Let us know what you decide and post a video if you do go through with it

You could re-wire them and tap into an internal power source then install a switch to turn them off & on...or hard wire said power line into the AE power line...that would do the trick. But to other BMW owners it will just look like a malfunction...


Now what world be awesome is is they functioned as turn signals
