SOLVED!!! HALO Brightness %100 with lowbeams F30LCI NON ADAPTIVE LED HEADLIGHT

THANKS TO dmnc02

I tried everything since my car delivered. And dmnc02 solved it.

With non adaptive led headlights (adaptive ones could do the same im not sure)

BOTH FLE MODULES

POLI1_Idx
POLI2_Idx
POLI3_Idx

Change the 05 to 04 in werte values
ex: the default is like this
00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 05, 00, 00, 00
after it should be like this
00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 04, 00, 00, 00

and please share the photos with %100 halos with lowbeams

Just to be clear, the above coding is for EU-spec F30/31 LCI with the non-adaptive LED headlights.

With the FLE ECUs, changing the brightness of a LED module (e.g., DRL) is no longer a matter of changing the Werte value of a predefined parameter to desired intensity (as it should be clear from the OP), so you have to take into account how the rest of the ECU is coded.

Read the post just above yours

It is really impossible to tell what setting will give you 100% intensity for the position lights without looking at the way the entire ECU is coded (which varies depending on factors such as your location and whether you have adaptive or non-adaptive LEDs). If you want to know the right setting for your car, post the NCD file for your FLE ECU.

sorry i am a little bit NOB about coding, the car is reading 01, 01, 01, 01, 01, 01, 04, 01, 01, 01
It's F20 120i not F30 so maybe that's why it's different I have coded to 05 and they were completely off lol
how can i get this NCD ?

Yes, the fact that it is a F20 rather than F30 definitely makes a difference.

Assuming that you have not coded any other car after the 120i, the relevant NCD is the file named CAFD_000024C3_xxx_xxx_xxx.ncd in your C:\Data\CAF directory.

The file has to be from the specific car you want to code, otherwise the settings will be different, defeating the purpose.

I am assuming that this is a US-spec F30 with the non-adaptive LEDs.

If so, the easiest way to change the halo rings to 100% when used as position lights is to set POLI1_Idx, POLI2_Idx and POLI3_Idx in both FLEs to

00, 00, 00, 05, 00, 00, 04, 00, 00, 00.

To change them to 60% instead, set POLI1_Idx, POLI2_Idx and POLI3_Idx in both FLEs to

00, 00, 00, 05, 00, 00, 0F, 00, 00, 00

and then code

LmmIdx15_Intensity = 3C
LmmIdx15_Priority = 03

(edit the Werte values directly) in both FLEs.

Lovely, I'll give it a go. Cheers.

Hi,

What does this do? Does this increase the brightness of the LED rings in the headlights?

By default - aren't they set to 100% during the day, and when headlights are on can be changed to 100% by modifying:

MAPPING_STANDL_V_L_PWM_LEVEL_1
MAPPING_STANDL_V_R_PWM_LEVEL_1

I am new to coding so just trying to understand.

Does anyone know if the main LED headlights are set to 100% by default on a US spec car?

This info is great so far!

(edit the Werte values directly) in both FLEs.
Finally get to code the ring. Happy to report, all worked as stated.
Tried couple of intensities, and settled on LmmIdx15_Intensity = 32 ( 50% when headlights are on).
Very happy and thanks for the help.

You shouldn't do this, it makes the rings look washed out at night, there is a reason they dim when your low beams are on.

taking a side step but does anyone know if you can turn up the eyebrows to 100% to match that of the rings while used for DRLs?
