Ok I think we have a failure to communicate which may be my fault.

When I say driving lights I mean those little lights in the bumper. Not the highbeam lights that are beside the low beam lights.

BMW calls them driving lights too so I guess you can call what I am talking about fog lights.

The main lights up top are low beams and high beams where I come from but I forgot BMW calls them driving lights in the X5.

Great job Crowz

Here's my 50% high beam DRL and driving light coding thanks to the IBUS app and high performance LED bulbs.

I used these Cree bulbs in my "driving" light lower positions.

ok so confusing to me. This fits in the inside high beams at 50% dim? mine are dim 50% but yellow like I tried several led bulbs none could dim.

Let me see if these will even fit the high beam sockets that might solve some of this
