Aftermarket headlights with LED side markers help

Kbocy · 06-20-2019, 08:52 AM

This is my first post on here. Just got my f31 328d wagon!

So I got a set of after market headlights to replace my halogen ones. The new headlights have LED side marker lights. Is there a way with BimmerCode to make it so the side markers are on with the headlights? I've already tried going to Front Electric Module > Lighting > Side Markers in BimmerCode, but I don't have an option to turn them on (only option is "Not Active" see pic).

I'm wondering if the is another code that I need to do to allow the LED corner lights to be on. I know the lights themselves do work as the turn signals both work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

(Pic with light on is the turn signal enabled)

Isn't it supposed to be for idk.... turn signal?
And also where did you get it from and for how much if you don't mind me asking?

Well yes they are for turn signals, but typically US cars have the side markers on when the headlights are on...

Got them on Amazon for like $600.

Perhaps you're mistaken it with the old DRL from your old halogens? They were orangeish and next to the signal light. When you switch to the angel eyes, it will be the 2 white LED strips so it is already on, but white colored instead.
The signal light should never be on unless you turn it on imho

So you're saying that they aren't supposed to be on? I've only had the car for a few days so I could be wrong about the old stock ones being off all the time.

I really like the way that these look when they are on! Is it possible to code them on?

Also, isn't this option supposed to turn on the marker lights? It's not working with these new headlights either...

I think I understand what you're trying to say now. Sorry for the misunderstood. Referring to this I believe it can be done with a little coding

why do you want them on? looks so much cleaner with them off by default. if anything i'd even keep them off and only have the top brow be the turn signal too.
