[Coding] HID fog lights as "Cornering Lights" are flashing.
Hi, everyone.
The fog lights of My 118i (F20 LCI) has been atached HID instead of halogen. And I coded "Welcome Lights" and "Cornering Lights" (front fog lights). Quote:
*Welcome Lights (fog lights) set to "soft_on" are flashing (flicker) and turn on or off like Cornering Lights. I guess my HID fog lights set "soft_on" will not work and be flashing (flicker). Would you tell me Where can I set Cornering Lights to "hard_on"? Last edited by kusupito; 10-08-2018 at 01:44 PM.. Reason: My English was wrong. |

Hi.
I would strongly suggest you go back to proper bulbs. Of course you know that HID fog lights both look annoyingly ugly and are ineffective for the fog purpose. They are also illegal in many(?) countries as well: automatic beam height adjustment and (frequently?) washers are mandatory for Xenon (HID) lights. HID and halogen of the same power have different electric traits (voltage? - I'm lazy to look it up again ): that looks unlikely to be resolvable with coding. By the way, does your car really have the cornering lights ("adaptive headlights") feature? They should be factory LED, not halogen then. If not, consider this retrofit kit (feel free to narrow down to your car there). |

Thanks for your reply, No one.
Now I am considering whether replacing the HID fog lights to white halogen fog lights or not. ■ Beloff halogen bulb iBEAUTY Cygnus white 4900K H8 FAB804 https://www.amazon.com/Beloff-haloge.../dp/B00JUK1FUU Anyway, HID fog lights (~6000K?) are not illegal in Japan. Hmmm. The fog lights as Cornering Lights cannot set "hard_on"? (The default is "soft_on" and it cannot changed?) > By the way, does your car really have the cornering lights ("adaptive headlights") feature? I'm sorry that I don't understand what you said because my English is not good. I guess that my car does not have adaptive headlights. Therefore, I coded to the front fog lights as Cornering Lights. In the same way, I coded them as Welcome Lights too. |

I don't know how to code "Cornering Lights" (I don't practice coding and neither am interested in it, sorry) but I do suppose that coding "Cornering Lights" should be irrelevant if you lack hardware support for the feature. |

I misunderstood. I did not know that there were BMW original LED fog lights which supported cornering lights and the specification
of cornering lights. Thanks for No one, I could understand! In fact, I don't like the flickering and the color (white-blue?) of HID. I wanted the color same as front lights but the repair shop recommended HID. (The default halogen of fog is too orange compared with the front lights.) The BMW LED Fog Lights you recommended are very nice. But Amazon don't have them. * I think follow ones are not BMW original. https://www.amazon.com/2Pcs-2011-Lig...+fog+light+f20 * BMW Origial LED Fog 0:05~ I can see the specific moves of cornering light when it truns on. * BMW Original Halogen Fog 0:40~ This is good too. But I think LED is nicer. Finally, I think F20 needs the cornering lights in dark place or load like country. I want the both of decoration and safety. Thanks. |

Now let me remind you that those original BMW parts you seek on Amazon (both the LED fog lights and Cornering Light Retrofit Kit) must be available at your local BMW dealer. I checked the prices: they cost on Amazon quite the same as they should cost at my local dealer's. And you may have to add shipping cost from Amazon. Quote:
