Question BMW G20 “Angel Eyes” Coding

I saw many people talking about many features available for coding on G20 chassis, but one that I’m interested in is the option to increase brightness to the “angel eyes” when low beams are on... Anyone has tried it?

I am also looking for this change. I have already played with the new FLM modules but without success.

Why would you do this?

There is a good reason why Daylight Running Lights (angel eyes) are dimmed as soon as main beam is turned on. The reason is not to blind incoming traffic at night as DRL's emit far too much light above the cutoff line.

I have a friend that turned it up on his 335i angle eyes (DRL) to 100% and it's extremely glaring.

I told him he's being an inconsiderate asshole but he doesn't seem to be bothered by this. I've witness similar attitudes around here..

I would like to increase mine but not too much, just about 70% to use the standing lights with fog lights
i agree with you guys that 100% is much
