Hello,

It seems like a new software update from BMW disallows turning OFF the headlights when you are driving.

Does anyone know how to fix this?? I want to be able to turn off headlights when driving at night without slowing down/parking.

I used to be able to do this, but BMW seems to have updated the software to disallow this.

Thank you!!

It was not possible and still isn´t possible.

BimmerCode has options to code

1. “switch off exterior lights”
( we can press OFF on the switch cluster and it actually works without the warning “❗️ lights off while running “
2. enable “check box for DRL “on the infotainment.

With above 2 coded

- fire the engine - Auto headlights on - press “OFF” on switch cluster - headlights go off . This option to press “off” works on standstill , idling and any speed less than 20kmph ( means while running if we slow down below 20kmph and press OFF , it works ) .
⁠
- ⁠press side lights on switch cluster - they go on ( both front and back simultaneously) .. option to switch off as per above for headlights.
- ⁠On infotainment now there are 2 seperate check boxes for front and back DRL .These can individually switch on and off the front/ rear DRL separately independant of speed .

To select “off” we need to be below 20kmph , but once done , then it stays till next restart irrespective of speed / time / distance travelled .
