Do angel eyes not turn on when very bright outside?

Dann0 · 05-13-2011, 07:36 PM

I just got my car back from the dealer, and I noticed the AE's are not turning on...however summer is also kicking in full force, so I'm wondering if the AE's are set to not turn on when its extremely sunny outside?

e90= only on when the lights are on

You can buy a Daeos DRL (daytime running light) adapter from JLevi that allows you to use your Angel Eyes as your DRL's. Also, I think if you find a coder they can do the same thing but without the wires.

Not true for E90 LCI, my Angel Eyes are my DRLs.

Ok but the OP has a 330i which was only produced as an '06 model.....angels are only on with the headlights.

On my 2008, the angel eyes only come on when the light switch is in the second position from the right. (lights on without headlights)

They will also be on with your headlights as they come on with the running lights.

Are you talking about the xenons, or halogen daytime running lights?

Daytime running lights do not engage the angel eyes on my car.

JayKay335i · 05-14-2011, 12:23 AM

They are on with your parking lights. They are on with your headlights. They are not on with the halogen DRLs.

^ what he said

idrift4wd · 05-14-2011, 01:40 AM

you guys are misinterpreting OP

AE are not that bright, in daylight they are almost impossible to see. you will only notice them in a dim surrounding/ behind a shiny flat bumper/ store with a glass window. but when it is very bright out, you cannot see them at all.

reddemon73 · 05-14-2011, 01:44 AM

My 2011 E92 angels are DRL...very bright and nice...see picture

idrift4wd · 05-14-2011, 02:19 AM

yes the newer LCI's have very bright and dominant angel eyes but op has an 06. anything before 09 had stockish yellow light which cannot be seen.

You would be incorrect. Aftermarket angel eyes are hard to see during the day. The yellow stock ones are easy to see. They just aren't on unless his headlights or parking lights are on.

The LCI E90s do not have any special super bright angel eyes. The new e92s do.

His angel eyes simply aren't on because pre-lci e90s do not use AEs as DRLs.

Dann0 · 05-14-2011, 03:47 AM

Hmm so am I crazy? I definitely have seen my AEs on during the day, but going by the indo in this thread, I guess it was just dim enough for my headlights to be on, period?

JayKay335i · 05-14-2011, 04:01 AM

period

mofbb · 05-14-2011, 06:02 AM

my AE is on when my engine is on. Not matter day or night. Is it off when i am driving under the big sun? I have no idea........BUT every e92.93 i ever seen on the road have their AE on. So i guess it should be always on.

VTECaddict · 05-14-2011, 02:27 PM

read the thread people. OP has a pre-LCI E90. no AE DRL. AEs are pretty dim even if you manually turn them on (headlight or parking lights on).
