Hello,
This is my first EVER post on a forum, wouldn't usually do this but have nowhere else to turn to now...
I recently brought an F10 2010 520d which DIDN'T have the xenon package, at the time i didn't think i'd encounter these issues so i went ahead and brought it.
Firstly, i changed the halogen bulbs for a HID kit so i have the nice white light headlights. Then i noticed the angel eyes were not very bright and they never came on during the day on their own as i had dipped headlights on all day even though my lights were on automatic. Turns out, if you DON'T have the xenon package, then the day time running lights are just your dipped headlights which is pointless, the only way to just have angel eyes during the day is to manually have it switched to side lights on the light switch.
So first question, Is there any way to manipulate the software so it works the lights as if you had the xenon package i.e angel lights during daylight and then automatically switch on dipped headlights when sensor detects low daylight?
Second question, I have just brought the CREE LED angel eyes, does anyone know how to fit these as I can't find instructions or videos anywhere online for the F10 model.
Here is the item i brought: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271941333782?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT - the advert does state it fits F10's on the search view not specifically on the advert itself so don't worry about this.
Anyway, looking forward to hearing everyone's replies.
Regards
