Question Angel eye coding question

I recently had my angel eyes coded to increase the brightness. My question is, if I were to install a set of BMS arc angel eye bulbs would the coding make them brighter than they are when they are on an un coded car? Or would the increased brightness from the coding have a ill effect on the aftermarket AE bulbs.

The coding definitely made the stock AE's brighter but I'm looking for something just a little whiter.

Thanks in advance!

They BMS Arc AE's aren't LED's though, they are still halogen just more of a white color.

Are you frm2 or frm3? I read frm3 is easy to do, frm2 is not easy but can be done and not as big of a brightness increase. Looking for the same answers myself

So does anyone know if the BMS non LED AE's would be brighter on a coded car compared to their stock brightness on a non coded car?

Guess I'm just gonna have to buy a set and try it. Pretty surprised no coders have the answer to this.
