Need some basic coding done. Can anyone do me a favour?

Hi GUys,

Was good seeing quite a few of you at the meet today.

I am looking to have some basic coding done for my lighting.

I want to up the Voltage of my DRL.

When the DRLs are on as normal, i want them to be at 13V
and when they are on 'side lights' i would like them operating at 12V.

As i understand, as stock they run at 12V as DRLs and 9V as sidelights. Is that correct?

Ideally, i would love this done this week if someone could assist? Beer and food on me if it can be done this week

Cheers

Andre

Hi Andre, great to see you today, car looking awesome as always. I can't confirm the numbers, but my DRLs definitely dim when they are on as sidelights.

There is an option which I haven't fully tested on BMWhat which can be coded, to disable the dimming of the halos when set to sidelights. Would love to help out but am a bit out of your way.. I'm sure you'll find somebody with the app or better still closer to you

There's loads of brightness settings on BMWhat app for the DRL's. They range from 'very dim' to 'very bright' (there's about 6 different settings in between) be careful with LED's though. They seem to be a little more fragile than a standard incandescent bulb to higher voltages. I've set mine to 'bright' instead of 'very bright' and they've been perfect. Don't know about the voltage differences, but there is a considerable difference in brightness from low to high. I turned my DRL's down to a low setting on sidelights as they were pissing off oncoming drivers.

Anyone in the London vicinity that has a bmw what app with the wired connection as mine doesn't work with wireless.

Was great seeing you today @ess matey!!!

Pacman83 mine are rated to work well up to 14V and i've tested them at 13,4V for a week constantly without failure.

Not if they have the new Wifi Adaptor.

Highly recommend you just purchasing it, especially if you're planning to keep the car/BMWs for a while.
