it can be done at a dealer or through several enthusiasts using software.
Search the thread "Coding, what not to forget?" and you will find the lines for turning off the monitoring of the angel eyes at startup.
Cold monitoring sends tiny pulses to the LCM on startup to do bulb checks on basically all the exterior bulbs, these are not noticeable with halogen bulbs and doesn't harm them, however, the pulses sent to the LED's create a flickering at startup and do harm the long term lifespan of LED's. PM member SlickGT1 he has replaced his angel eye LED's a few times before he got cold monitoring turned off.
Hope that helps, I don't have links but it's all in a good search.
