So everything codes fine but u lose welcome lights. I use pathway lighting now as don't have welcome anymore. For pathway u just press the alarm button once and lights come on so an extra step but works fine.

So what happens if you keep the welcome lights (halos) on in iDrive? Do you get malfunction errors on the iDrive display? Trying to understand how these would cause issues as welcome lights are headlights only, aren't they?

If you start the car before the welcome lights shut off (they shut off in 15 seconds) then you will get iDrive errors and turn signals won't work properly. If you wait 15 seconds and then start the car, then no errors and turn signals will work properly. |

So had this done on Friday and I have to admit they look so, so much better than the early models (I have a 2018 & had it for 2 years now so I needed something as was getting bored of the look). Just makes the car look so fresh and I cant believe how such a relatively small thing can make such a dramatic difference. Anyway, that was the good news. The bad news is that there is an intermittent fault message of Brake light left and some times right failure. Funny thing is the break lights are actually working so im hoping its something to do with the coding. The BMW dealership installed these so I will be back in contact with them tomorrow. The strange thing is it does not happen all the time and maybe once in every 10 starts and from what I can gather its first thing in the morning after the car has sat for a while. Once the message comes on, if I switch the car off and then back on it normally resets and all is fine. Any ideas before I go back to the dealership would be appreciated so I can maybe point them in the right direction. I know they will have no idea why its doing this as its their first. Thanks.

Thanks and I might need to. The whole idea getting the dealer to retro fit them was so that when its time to trade the car in, I didn't want any bull from the dealers saying oh we cant take it in. Plus I have warranty until November and have been burnt before with doing things like this without dealer involvement. I will let the dealership have one crack first but I might have to. Cheers

Hey guys,
as a forum should be there to help each other, instead of constantly offering services for money, I would like to share a coding solution, that works without throwing errors. Please note, that this refers to the EURO spec rear lights on a European car, where you also need to run 2 additional wires to the BDC and re-pin the inner connector. What I did in terms of coding: 1. Update car to latest I-Step 21-03 2. Perform LCI Rear Light retrofit measures within ISTA (this will still throw a break-light error) 3. In BDC code:
Here you go, the rear lights work w/o error |

My thread stands as USA lights on USA cars, with USA turn signal and brake light sequence. To this day there is no solution to what I describe in my initial guide. My welcome lights are just turned off in IDrive. I never get any errors, no errors at the dealer and I've been enjoying this mod a lot, and so are many people on this board. Also member by the name GTATX found that solution, when with the key fob you can still turn on the Walk Me Home/Pathway lights, and I use that time to time if I want to see angel eyes and etc work upon opening my car. |
