So basically what you suggest is using the fog lights together with the xenon in it's low beam mode, right? Besides that, you are replacing the fog light bulbs with led bulbs to gather a better light output from the fog lights (which we hardly ever use). I can turn the fog lights on manually and this would be OK for me, since I wouldn't need them to be on during the day. Still, coding the feature on would not be a big problem for me but I would try to go the manual way first and see how it works out for me. If I got everything right, I would like to try this mod to hopefully improve driving by night. Just 2 questions: - Which led bulbs / setup do you suggest? The link on your page is not valid anymore - What does it take to install these led bulbs into the fog lights? Thanks a lot in advance for your support! |

The low beams are helped by the driving lights in the bumper after upgrading them to led headlight bulbs
The high beams are helped by coding the inner headlights (only works as flash to pass pulling the stalk when not coded) to stay on as high beams.

I updated the link on my site for the led bulbs.
As for whats required to install them. Remove the old bulbs and install the new bulbs. No mods needed.

Maybe you know which of those is responsible for the front fog lights? My guess would be Front & Right Low beam light.

That doesn't look like the LCM settings for a E53. That looks like the one I have for my E46 when I look at BMW Scanner 1.4 LCM settings. Your E53 should look like this one with left and right fog lights clearly listed.

Well, this makes things much easier ^^. I just picked a picture from google assuming it would be the same for all models. Great, this will be easy, thanks a lot!!

So how do you guys code exactly?? Like what do you use and how do you hook it up? Never understood it really.
