You'll need to code out all cold and warm checks for anything LED, otherwise it'll flash every so often. This goes for any aftermarket LED or HID headlights or bulbs.

-led high beam is not as expected , maybe 6th generation is better .
-low/high beam is shaking (not stable) after 2hrs of driving (maybe a decoder is required ) , i switched iff/on the light and its ok .
-DRL led chip ready installed in the head light is flickering , needs to be coded .

Maybe the 6th generation is better as the 7th generation comes with a ready fitted film (additional layer ) to give 6500 temp while 6th generation comes without this film.

Other than the headlights i replaced the osram h8 35w fog light with h8 philips diamond vision 35w but i noticed that when putting high beam the fog light is switched off till i release the high beam , so any idea is this a coding issue or because of bulbs ( noticed original osram bulbs are 2 different length ) so is there left and right ?
Hey sh2laba, did you ever sort out the shaking issue? I'm just about to grab 7th gen Cree lights for a lack of an option to get the 6th gen but this is the one thing keeping me from going for it...well that and the potential clearance issue. Did you notice a lack of space for either the high or low positions?

Hi
After the coding the shaking stopped , but it happens when you drive for more than 2hours then i have to switch off the light then turn it on to stop the shaking ( i can live with that )

The bulbs fits inside the head lights properly but make sure to adjust the light alignment/direction

Make sure both low and high beam are coded out. These headlights use the same bulb for both. I drive 4 hours straight every week to visit family, and I've never had flashing lights or shaking issues.

Hey is anyone in the Portland, OR area able to easily code out the warm/cold checks on an f30? It looks like the "one-stop shop" that I went to (and otherwise did a completely kickass job) does not and it's driving me crazy D:

Other than that the install works perfectly.
There's potentially a bit of money/booze/my everlasting appreciation in it for you if can help me out here

Hey RarScaryFrosty, do you happen remember how exactly he coded out the DRL? I really don't like the super weak inner lights and can do without them TBH.

If you have you exact coding list that would be even more of a help! To the best of my understanding this is what I need to do for my HID setup:
FEM Body > 3061 > AL_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG > Nicht_aktiv
FEM Body > 3061 > AL_L_WARMUEBERWACHUNG > Nicht_aktiv
FEM Body > 3061 > AL_R_KALTUEBERWACHUNG > Nicht_aktiv
FEM Body > 3061 > AL_R_WARMUEBERWACHUNG > Nicht_aktiv
FEM Body > 3061 > FL_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG > Nicht_aktiv
FEM Body > 3061 > FL_L_WARMUEBERWACHUNG > Nicht_aktiv
FEM Body > 3061 > FL_R_KALTUEBERWACHUNG > Nicht_aktiv
FEM Body > 3061 > FL_R_WARMUEBERWACHUNG > Nicht_aktiv

So I bought some Anzo U Bar headlights which appear to be the same as Eagle Eye, are supposed to be a direct plug and play. They look amazing on the car but my only concern is that the outer project is supposed to be the low beam and the inner projector is supposed to be the high beam (LED). The outer projector is doing both and the inner projector doesn't seem to be doing anything at all. I had them professionally installed, and the installer said there was only the one factory plug to use so he wasn't sure why they aren't working. Any ideas? Company said they would send more and I could return them but I'm wondering if I'll just run into the same issue with the new ones? The part number is 121504.
