Flickering angel eyes when installed new headlights

Good day guys,

I have been having issues with bimmercode and making my angel eyes stop flickering.
I have turned on all necessary sections and still they keep flickering.
There is no warm/cold settings on bimmercode anymore so that is out of the question,
If anyone may please help in figuring this issue out I would greatly appreciate it!
I purchased the led headlights and all other lights but the angel eyes are working properly.

There are no warm/cold settings in Bimmercode as when you set it for LED conversion it turns off the warm and cold checks and sets the voltage to constant with the one click. Besides, the angel eyes were factory set for LED in the first place. There are no halogen angel eyes. That's why there's no LED conversion for angel eyes. Something else is causing the problem.

I purchased the full led headlights for the pre lci f30.
I coded everything as it should be and my angel eyes are flickering.

Did the car have angel eyes from the factory? If not that would probably explain it. It may require a VO change.

It came with halogen headlamps. Converted to led headlamps.
Also is there a way to code this on bimmercode in expertmode?

Its possible but you need to know all the parameters. Its easier to vo code using esys.

Yea everyone is saying that lol but I have a Mac, I tried downloading windows and it just doesn't work. And a shop wants to charge me wayyy to much money to code the angel eyes to stop flickering, so I wanted to try and do it on expert mode on bimmercode but I don't know what to change as I find it hard to understand German lol

You can use something like parallels or virtual machines to run windows.
Using the FA and SVT i can get all the parameters needed.

I have parallels but the guy that did it last time told me he couldn't get into the laptop. And I wasn't going to pay for the authentic windows.

Hey did you ever fix this problem? I'm in the same boat as you. Bought full LED headlight assemblies, coded for LED conversion via Bimmercode and the angel eyes still flicker. Low and high beams are just fine. It's just the angel eyes

If you purchased Full LED headlights bimmercode cant code it. You need to modify the fa and code the headlights using esys

Ahh, this makes much more sense now. I'll have to refresh my memory on esys as it's been a while. I see Billfitz already mentioned this point earlier as well. Thanks guys!
