Small Orange Bulb in Headlight Corner

MattGrantham · 08-05-2011, 07:18 PM

Does anyone know what the hell this small amber light is for in the corner of the e92 headlight and is there any way to replace it with a white bulb?

onesuperboi · 08-05-2011, 09:48 PM

Can't replace it. You can code it out.

MattGrantham · 08-05-2011, 10:17 PM

Thanks, anyone know of a good coder in Toronto?

You can replace it if you really wanted to. Solder a new one in.

You can replace it, but you may have to open the headlights to do it, I had mine coded out, it is there for some stupid north american side marker light law of some sort that they don't have in europe (just like the ugly side reflectors).

Ahhh so THAT'S what happened to mine lol...Luis coded it out when he did my OSS lights

Mystery solved.

Shane did my coding (BMW knight) but I was told the led on the e92 couldn't be coded out - was I mislead?

Apparently. Mine was coded out by Luis just fine

you can replace it if you open the headlights. I've done it but its a PITA!

nizzle · 08-08-2011, 12:41 PM

Do these corner lights blink amber when the turn signals are on as well? If so, does the coding mentioned here disable that as well?

01stang · 08-08-2011, 04:06 PM

u can just cut one of the wires in the harness and it wont light up and no error at all did that on my 07 i have to dig up the thread if u need that info, plus u can have quick connect on it so u can plug it back in if needed

MattGrantham · 08-08-2011, 08:47 PM

01Stang: Please let me know, that sounds like the best solution by far!

Unless he coded your car with the headlights in, I doubt he really coded it. To actually code it, you would need to have the USB connected to the OBD port.

He probably just cut the wire.

I got mine coded by Sal@Camber-Toe, and its doesn't come on anymore.

01stang · 08-10-2011, 05:28 PM

found the you tube there was a thread here like 4 yrs ago got a wire diagram that was drawn on a piece of paper could not find it tho... im still trying

Dark_Knight_335 · 08-10-2011, 05:37 PM

I think you're actually right bro. My bad. How are you doing man?

This was for MyE92

engotski · 11-04-2011, 10:30 PM

Ok to bring this thread back before I cut my wire...

I have a 2007 E92 that has my corner lights coded out but that small corner LED is still on. For some reason its not deleted on mine but later-build e92s have been completely deleted with the code.

Is it possible for pre 07 build to have this unfortunate issue that I HAVE to cut the wires to get rid of the corner LED?

qclik · 11-05-2011, 02:04 AM

Not really need to cut off the wire, just unplug it but yes headlight must be open. Check out poor man oss thread on DIY section.
