Coding out error (Headlights)

Hello, I recently purchased and installed aftermarket OEM style laser headlights. Everything works flawlessly. Quality and output are both great. The only issue is I have a US model M340i, which does have the orange corner light on the factory headlights. This aftermarket set doesn’t and throws this error on the dash “Front side marker light malfunction”. Does anyone know how to code this out, possibly through Bimmercode.


I would greatly appreciate any help/advice. Thanks!

Can you read the actual fault code. The error can sometimes be fixed by coding the correct paramters for the side markers.

I have a 2023 G20 LCI and I am looking to disable mine completely. Maybe the same steps you need to turn the fault off.

I have the issue where it throws bunch of codes. I have purchased the aftermarket laser lights off of alibaba. Transfered the modules from OEM adaptive headlights to the laser ones, (I highly doubt they are real laser lights).
The codes are

Front headlight malfunction
Left headlight blinker malfunction
Right headlight blinker malfunction
Left sidemarker malfunction
Right sidemarker malfunction

I can try to get the exact code numbers if it helps.
TheNine90 you had helped me out with my tailight codes and after trying the codes you provided, the rear tailights never threw a code again. Maybe you can help us out with the aftermarket laser lights as well?
