Did this today.

Coded all the necessary halogen to LED modifications in FEM_BODY and also enabled fog cornerning lights.

Looks cool compared to the old pissy yellow fog lights.

Mine is at the BMW collision center now and I had them replace the old fog lights with the new LCI lights. Coded it with BimmerCode before I brought it in. I haven't got the see it, but the techs said everything seemed ok when I asked. Anyone else use BimmerCode? Any issues I need to check for?

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I have recently retrofitted OEM Bi-Xenon headlights (Pre-LCi), coded, and everything went perfectly. I am now in the process of buying a pair of BMW OEM LED fog lights (probably taken from a 340i or so).

From reading this thread, I understand that the hardware is plug and play but it requires coding to function properly and clear the error, correct?

And does anyone know which options/parameters need to be set in FEM_BODY? I saw a lot of VO codes here but I use BimmerCode mainly, can it be done using that?

Thanks a lot

Same here and I am using bimmercode. I have it set to led and both warm and cold turned off but they flicker like crazy

These are the settings I have for my F31 when I replaced the fog lamps with the OEM LED ones to prevent flicker:

In the FEM_BODY module:
MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_L_PWM_LEVEL_1 100%. (default was 13.4V)
MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_L_PWM_LEVEL_1 100%. (default was 13.4V)

Ok I will check this out. I am using bimmercode app but my familiarity with it is very limited.

You will find it in expert mode under Front Electronic Module --> 3063_LceLampMapping2

And then don't forget to code both fog lights.

MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_L_PWM_LEVEL_1 100%. (default was 13.4V)
MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_L_PWM_LEVEL_1 100%. (default was 13.4V)

MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_R_PWM_LEVEL_1 100%. (default was 13.4V)
MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_R_PWM_LEVEL_1 100%. (default was 13.4V)

Thanks this worked perfectly!

One was under 3062 and the other was under 3063 under expert mode.

Hi guys,

I've replaced bulb halogens to led one, did coding this way:

FEM_BODY

3061 NSW_R_KALTUEBERWACHUNG -> nicht_aktiv : LED Foglights front right
3061 NSW_R_WARMUEBERWACHUNG -> nicht_aktiv : LED Foglights front right
3061 NSW_R_IS_LED -> aktiv : LED Foglights front right
3062 MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_R_PWM_LEVEL_1 -> 100% : LED Foglights front right
3061 NSW_R_UE_SPG_SCHUTZ -> dimmed : LED Foglights front right
3063 MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_R_PWM_LEVEL_1 -> 100% : LED Foglights front right

3061 NSW_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG -> nicht_aktiv : LED Foglights front left
3061 NSW_L_WARMUEBERWACHUNG -> nicht_aktiv : LED Foglights front left
3061 NSW_L_IS_LED -> aktiv : LED Foglights front left
3061 NSW_L_UE_SPG_SCHUTZ -> dimmed : LED Foglights front left
3063 MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_L_PWM_LEVEL_1 -> 100% : LED Foglights front left
3062 MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_L_PWM_LEVEL_1 -> 100% : LED Foglights front left



3062 MAPPING_abbiegel_L_output -> nsw_l : Foglight when turning
3062 Mapping_abbiegel_R_output -> nsw_r : Foglight when turning
3073 KL_ENABLE_RE -> KL_Ein : Foglight when turning
3066 KL_ENABLE_LI -> KL_Ein : Foglight when turning
3073 C_CLC_ENA -> enable : Foglight when turning
3073 C_BLC_ENA -> enable : Foglight when turning



3063 Mapping Nevelschw L Part of WL soft-on nicht_aktiv : Foglight left as welcome
3063 Mapping Nevelschw R Part of WL soft-on nicht_aktiv : Foglight right as welcome


The error about "fog light halogen" is gone, but leds doesnt working..
Any ideas?

For all retrofitted LEDs you need to code the voltage monitoring to OFF. That will get rid of the flickering.

The name is LED fog lights.
The part numbers:
63177315559
63177315560

You can buy it at your dealer or Ebay or amazon ...

This is somewhat-off the direct topic, but throwing out there in case helpful for anyone in the future who sees this thread:

I am doing a foglight retrofit on an F32 (no existing fogs) and based on research the foglight power is coming directly out of FEM Body

...On plug connector A173*3B ... See Pin #7 (left) & #8 (right)

https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...odule/H1iZZlgo

Kajer gives some good detail on how to tap into this port to add foglights on his retrofit thread:

https://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=915669

I'm guessing that is what's causing the LED factory fogs to be so sensitive to the proper coding (they draw their power directly from the FEM with it being regulated by that ECU)

For my setup: I am going to try to just keep them in halogen mode (non-LED), disable cold/warm bulb checks & run those signals as activation wires to a dual wiring harness direct powering each fog via a draw positive main terminal in the hood. It should tell us whether or not the factory LED foglights can handle "direct-draw voltage" without it being regulated by the FEM.

If they can, then I would hypothesize that if you did NOT turn on IS_LED (i.e. nicht_aktiv) but disabled cold/warm monitoring you could get away with a similar effect direct-drawing the FEM in "halogen mode". Other issues with this method though are things like soft-on, soft-off which happens with welcome lights & cornering for halogens so you'd have to make sure WL is hard-on mode and might have to give up cornering

I have 552 Adaptive LED's with cornering lights so most likely won't run fogs as corner...

Will update that other thread when done... Good luck all!

Led Foglight retrofit EBay

Hi new to the forums but not retrofitting my car. I have a 2015 pre Lci F30 and I'm going to put some Led fogs in. The genuine ones seem rather expensive even second hand, I've found a set on EBay for half the price new.
When comparing the genuine and non genuine ones they appear to be identical in markings (apart from the BMW logo and sticker) even to the country of manufacture. Can anyone shed any "light" on this?

hello gentlemen, i have a problem after retrofits oem led foglight, after assembly the left foglight blinked a lot and the right one worked ok, I coded BimmerCode in normal mode and it was fine for some time. The left side blinked again and finally stopped working. I connected it in place of the right one and it works ok, I also connected the old bulb halogen in it and it works. I coded later in expert mode according to all forum tips and the left side still doesn't work. have any ideas?

Hey @fazerfahrer,

A question about the led fogs. Do they light up automatically when you turn to the right or left (cornering lights) ?

MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_R_PWM_LEVEL_1 100%. (default was 13.4V)
When I did, the flashing stopped, but the light is much, much darker.
I changed yet 3061 NSW_L_UE_SPG_SCHUTZ from dimmer to nicht_active and the same. Is it possible to even set a little more light?
Without flashing?

When looking at the coding for other factory led's in the car (like halo's, rear led strips, third brake light and mirror turn signal), they have some identical coding, that differ from the coding of halogen bulbs.
I think the right coding for factory led fog's should be:

3061 NSW_R_CCM -> vor 7/12 or ab7/12. Mine is set to (before)vor 7/12(month/year) and I think it should be (after)ab 7/12
3061 NSW_R_KALTUEBERWACHUNG -> nicht_aktiv
3061 NSW_R_WARMUEBERWACHUNG -> nicht_aktiv
3061 NSW_R_IS_LED -> aktiv
3061 NSW_R_UE_SPG_SCHUTZ -> nicht aktiv - all current leds are set to nicht aktiv and all incandescent to aktiv. So change to nicht aktiv
3062 MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_R_PWM_LEVEL_1 -> 100%
3062 MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_R_FIXED_PWM -> fixed - all current leds are set to fixed and all incandescent to pwm. So change to fixed
3063 MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_R_PWM_LEVEL_1 -> 100%
3063 MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_R_FIXED_PWM ->fixed - all current leds are set to fixed and all incandescent to pwm. So change to fixed


*
3061 NSW_L_CCM -> vor 7/12 or ab 7/12. Mine is set to (before)vor 7/12(month/year) and I think it should be (after)ab 7/12
3061 NSW_L_KALTUEBERWACHUNG -> nicht_aktiv
3061 NSW_L_WARMUEBERWACHUNG -> nicht_aktiv
3061 NSW_L_IS_LED -> aktiv
3061 NSW_L_UE_SPG_SCHUTZ -> nicht aktiv -- all current leds are set to nicht activ and all incandescent to aktiv. So change to nicht aktiv
3062 MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_L_PWM_LEVEL_1 -> 100%
3062 MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_L_FIXED_PWM -> fixed - all current leds are set to fixed and all incandescent to pwm. So change to fixed
3063 MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_L_PWM_LEVEL_1 -> 100%
3063 MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_L_FIXED_PWM ->fixed - all current leds are set to fixed and all incandescent to pwm. So change to fixed

kurzschluss - don't change default value (aktiv).
dualsp - don't change default value (nicht aktiv).
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I can confirm that these settings are right and cornering led fog ligths works with this coding
