Hello mates,
Very thanks to Takky.
I want to ask it is possible to code fog light work all the time in FRM module? I don't see this settings in FRM, but I see LAMPMAP in it has a hexadecimal values but is there a way to change and make fog light work all the time?
Thank You in advance

Hey guys,

I coded my fogs on as DRL's w/o issue using:

FEM_BODY 3063 LceLampMapping2

MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_L_FUNCTION = 04
MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_R_FUNCTION = 04

The front fog switch still turns on the green light only nothing happens.

I tried to repurpose it to turn on/off the amber side markers:

https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1691279

The issue is that after I do that coding, the fogs no longer work as DRL's and instead the amber side markers are on as DRL's.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I think whats going on is that when you do:

Mapping_nebelschw_L_output: 0D
Mapping_nebelschw_r_output: 0E

You are telling the fog light signal to be outputted to the blinkers. (0D and 0E are for blinkers, see attached), which i think is necessary for the fog switch to control them.

I noticed you only mentioned that you did

MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_L_FUNCTION = 04
MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_R_FUNCTION = 04

which turns on the fogs with the DRLs, but NOT with the low beams. Is that what you want? If thats the case, you could probably try:

MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_L_FUNCTION = 04
MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_R_FUNCTION = 04

Which then turns the corner lamps (which are just another function of the fog lights) on with the DRLs.

I think you could try this for the front blinkers:

MAPPING_PARKL_V_L_FUNCTION = 08
MAPPING_PARKL_V_R_FUNCTION = 08

OR

MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_L_FUNCTION = 08
MAPPING_SIDEMARKER_R_FUNCTION = 08

For the mirror lights you could try this:

MAPPING_BLINKEN_Z_L_FUNCTION = 08
MAPPING_BLINKEN_Z_R_FUNCTION = 08

I have no idea if your blinkers will still work when you signal though. Good luck

Hello,
how to make the rear fog light come on at the same time as the brakes and also have the fog lights turned on via the switch command:
OE = Switch (nebelschlusslicht)
OC = Control with stop but no more switch possible
01 = always on
that's all i found so far ...

Hi everyone,

I recently did a fog light delete on my 2013 535i for the looks. Since I don't want the fog light button to be completely useless, I'm exploring the possibility of using it to turn on/off both of the cornering lights.

Based on this thread (which is super helpful to understand how light mappings work!), I thought I could just go to FEM_BODY 3062 and change:

MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_L_FUNCTION = 08
MAPPING_ABBIEGEL_R_FUNCTION = 08

... until I realized I don't have FEM_BODY module but FRM. In FRM, the light mappings seem to be in 3080 and the long list of LAMP_MAP_PARA_SATZ got me super confused. Is there any way to achieve the equivalent in FRM module?

If you want the fogs to stay on with parking lights, low-beams and high-beams, then code with option 01. However, they will not be on with angel eyes.
Note that in any option the fogs switch will not work, except if the code is 08.

If you code it to your angel eyes then code your angel eyes to stay on with low beams problem solved.

front Foglights on with High Beams

Hello, I have F31 2014
I'm trying to code front Foglights on with High Beams, like when blinking with High Beams or just turning on High Beams to have Foglights on and try this one with eSys :
Quote:
There are 2 stages to the coding process; the first prevents the fogs from automatically turning off when the high beams are active, the 2nd stage maps the high beams #2 (L&R) outputs to the (L&R) foglight hex addresses respectively.
CODE: SELECT ALL

FEM_01
>
3060 LceMaster
NSW_AUS_BEI_FL = nicht_aktiv
<
3063 LceLampMapping2
MAPPING_FERNL_2_L_OUTPUT = 0x0B
MAPPING_FERNL_2_R_OUTPUT = 0X0C
But in eSys I can't find 0x0B or OC so I guess coding with eSys, in this case, is a little bit different, can you help me plz.

As I'm understanding right I don't want to use next coding (with 05)

Basically what those lines are doing is telling the computer to treat the fog lights not as fog lights anymore, but as a different light function, denoted by a number as outlined in Takkey's post. ......
So my computer will treat fog light as High Beam and I will not be able to turn foglights when let's say, there is fog - only with low beam? am I right.
So what is the right way to code "front Foglights on with High Beams" but still to have your foglight?

I hope I ask my question right.
Thank you in advance!

Are you saying you just want to keep your fog lights on when you turn on the high beams? For example, you are driving at night with your low beams and fog lights on. You flash your high beams. The fog lights stay on. Is that right?

If so, i think you just need the first line that you posted:
FEM_01
>
3060 LceMaster
NSW_AUS_BEI_FL = nicht_aktiv
<

I think that just disables the standard behavior of turning off fogs whenever the high beam is on.

Not exactly, I want (if it's possible)
- when I blink with high beam, to blink at the same time with fog light. It's just more visible and cooler LIke this


-When I drive at night and if I turn the high beam to start fog light in same time (automatically), just to have better vision, as I'm with halogen lights.

But If I'm understanding right, if make this coding :
MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_L_FUNCTION = 05
MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_R_FUNCTION = 05

I will lose my fog light as it is, and the car will treat the Fog light as High Beam. SO I will not able to start Fog lights without High Beam? am I right?

Yes, you would lose the normal function of your fog lights

I coded the following:
MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_L_FUNCTION = 04
MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_R_FUNCTION = 04

the fogs is on whit DRL, but in the night, when the low beam is on the fogs won't turn's on,
the green light in dash is on if I push fog button but the fogs stay off

Hello friends,
based on this light mapping is it possible when i use the turn signals L or R to turn on the fog lights L or R respectively? because my F30 doesn't work as cornering lights when turning the steering wheel i believe because my i-step is not updated and also because my car doesn't have the AUTO light option, my idea is to activate a fog light when i I use the L or R turn signals, but so that the fog light stays on while the turn signals are on, and not the fog light blink like the turn

Hello,
In default Fog lights button not work without headlights
Tried to code to:
MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_L_FUNCTION = 03
MAPPING_NEBELSCHW_R_FUNCTION = 03

It's good, but is there any way to turn on FOG Lights without headlights manually?

Idea is:
1. Fogs can be turned on\off manually everytime
2. Fogs are turned on with Low beam
3. Fogs are turned on with High Beam

It not possible unless you use other functions like sidemarkers ,cornering lights and remap them for fog light.

I am looking to do the same = fogs turned on/off independently, no matter what lights are turned on/off.

Did you ever find a coding solution to make this a reality?
TIA!

You can do this with the BimmerCode too...
Go to Front Electronic module/ select expert mode / 3063 LceLampMapping2 and you can change the value for Mapping_Nebelschw_Priority

I’ll check it out. I’m always surprised when someone likes start and stop. Not me!
