If he has FRM1 then he will not be able to get welcome lights coded. Early '07 models came with FRM1 but later in the year they changed them to FRM2 that had welcome lights as a feature. LCI models have FRM3.

My car unfortunately has FRM1

Back to the topic though, I really like these lights and will have to add these to my wishlist. I just wonder if they'll look good on TiAg.

Yes, good point. Totally forgot about that. I'm lucky to have a mid-'07 model that came with FRM2. Worst case, I suppose he could retrofit FRM2 or 3... but not sure what's involved in that.

I wonder what benefits FRM3 has over FRM2?

I think they would look great on Tiag. Probably better with the silver eyebrow than the traditional white, but both probably look good. This could also give you some additional contrast if you also wanted to do other black accents (like splitters, mirrors, roof, trunk lip, etc.).

Assuming you have FRM2, coding could be done through NCSExpert, or with the Carly OBD Smartphone adapter.

I think FRM3 is required if you are going pre lci to LCI Xenons or LCI tail lights. Don't know for sure though. If I'm wrong then I don't know what other features FRM3 has that FRM2 doesn't have.

Is there away to code out the dtm lights so they don't flash when car turns on

It's the bulb check that does that. You can code it off, I kept it because I wanna know whe a tail light goes out.

My DTM halos don't flicker, just my led corner lights.

DTM rings fade in and out with welcome lights too.

Is there a way to adjust the project cut offs to make them more striaghtish?

I'm not sure, but I'd be interested in this too. Not a fan of the angled cutoff towards the right.

So far, I've only seen the adjustment to lower cut off, and while I do need to do it, I haven't had a chance to yet (sorry to anyone I've blinded along the way... I will prioritize this accordingly, lol).

I saw a dark red (burgundy) lci e90 there other with the same headlights for the first time

I think the angled cutoff is so that you can light up road signs.

I'm sure you're right, but I still find it annoying as it blinds pedestrians on the sidewalk, cars waiting to turn in from the right, and even cars directly in front of you as you change lanes to the left.

[Ruddigger]

Ha, you must have done the HID conversion? Mine sure as hell aren't blinding anybody.

Lol, no conversion yet, but it's coming.

Even with the halogen bulbs, if you look right at them at eye level, they can be blinding.

?? how do they not flicker?? Then again it think it's because it's your welcoming light cause when I turn them on when I start my car it doesn't flicker

hid is a must it makes a world of difference

I have OPT7 LED H7 kit and it is better than a hid kit imo. There is no flickering and no warm-up time. I have had bad luck with hid kits. I had to replace them every few months because the ballasts went bad.

Any pics of output? My hid doesn't flicker just the led rings
