The advantage:
- no flicker when AE is off (like you have now)
- no flashing with turning signal
- brighter, cause right now that park light is only powered about 6V then when turning signal is flashing it'll alternate between 12V and 6V.

You're freaking awesome, man. Apparently the guys at this place have been doing this wrong on every BMW that comes in (either that or they're putting the trigger on the ignition wire in the ECU so the AEs are always running, which just isn't for me.
I've still got the problem with the dashboard lights though... not responding the dimmer at all. They seem to vary themselves every time I get in the car. Sometimes it's at 50%, sometimes at 35%, and today they weren't coming on at all.
Just so y'all can see what the lights I'm dealing with, they're

From what I can see they're the exact ones
J.Belknap has.
Does anyone have experience with the LCM and what exactly can be programmed on it? I've had a lingering issue for years after I retrofitted 04-06 taillights where the taillight section is constantly as bright as the brake light. Alas, that's besides the point, I really just want my damn instrument cluster lights back 100%.
EDIT: Drove it just now to the gas station and midway through (it's dusk), my auto-headlights came on, along with a German message in my cluster that reverted to English after a couple of seconds warning me about my washer fluid level. I know I need washer fluid, so that's not disconcerting, but the fact it was initially in German was unsettling.
