My approach has been to add high intensity LEDs to the high beam sockets and code them via the IBUS app to 45% and add similarly powerful LED bulbs to the fog light positions. This set up, even at 45% in the high beam positions gives me a very good illumination in the event my Xenons ever decide to lay down on me.

I would love to be able to run my high beams and the low Xenons at the same time but I do not have the IMPA software and had amateur's difficulty following the programming you outlined on your web site.

I just replaced the driving light bulbs with led bulbs. I still have the factory hid setup for the headlights themselves.

Between this mod on the driving lights and coding the highbeams to work with the xenons its a pleasure to drive the X5 at night now.
