Is there a way/trick to turn on the front fog lights without turning on the headlights? On my 325Ci you simply turn on the parking lights then turn on the fog lights that didn’t work..

Get BimmerCode

I've coded with bimmercode but didn't see a way to automatically turn them on when the headlights are on. Do you know if this feature is available?

Haven’t seen a way to do it automatically, it’s a pretty manual process. My bigger issue is I can’t get the halo’s to dim with only parking lights, they run at full power until the headlights are on. It’s in bimmercode and I’ve tried multiple times, maybe just won’t work. I have the adaptive led (just not icons). Pre-lci

I have a 2018 X3 with Idrive 6 with LED headlights that I can turn on my fog lights when the parking lights are on .This is the halos and fog lights on together.I also BimmerCoded the fog lights to be able to come on with the high beam lights and parking lights .
Not a real good picture but .

DITTO...if you go to the www.bimmercode.app website and click on the SUPPORTED CAR link at the top center of the page...you can select your model and then get a list of areas that can be coded and the module in which it can be found.

See example below..found under the LIGHTING heading:

I just want the fog lights a dusk or rain with out the headlights on. Will look into coding, though there was something in idrive. thanks

Thank you! Just got the app and will change my X3 M40i

Happy coding. I’m sure there are other parameters you might enjoy. Go through the supported coding parameters on the website for your model so that you can make a list. Then you can code all the things you find interesting and make all the changes in one coding session. If you go longer than a few minutes….you should either break up the coding session or hook up to a battery charger so that your BMW doesn’t shut down during coding. This is where owners can start to have issues if a module loses power while you’re trying to code it.

Thanks waiting for coder from Amazon!

Coded now I can run fog lights with parking lights during light rain. The dealership said they could make the change for $260 it cost me about $140 for program down load and one dbx it also works on my 2003 325Ci for key functions removed delays for windows and sunroofs🤠

Does the bimmer code let you turn on cornering lights with any option, there is no fog lights on G01 any more but cornering lights actually help a lot, only if we could enable them on demand.

I was able to code them to come on in reverse, with turn signals (as opposed to just when turning) and with high beams on, but I don’t see how you could get them on all the time. I guess you’d need a switch like a fog light switch or to dial them down to zero turning angle. Not sure that’s possible and you’d have a problem with the opposite side on your turn turning off. Note, I’m pre-lci with id6 (2019).

Turn signal would be a start, thanks for the info.

Don’t they do that already ?

They might now, but in 2019 they didn’t. And it annoyed me that I’d see 5’s at stop lights with their signals and turning lights on, and I didn’t.

Sorry I was getting confused as discussing 2024 cornering lights and pre LCI models coding,

Not sure this apply's to LCI, but here is a link the chat, spreadsheet is attached about ½ down from Gugin-

I haven't tried this yet but have a question. I've coded my fog lights to come on with high beams and with parking lights but if you just hit the fog light button typically the headlights come on too. With it coated for the parking lights will the headlights still come on if you hit the fog light button while your lights are off? Or does it now come on with just the parking lights?

Turns head lights on like it does stock.

Actually, I tested it today and when I turned on the fog light with no lights on it went straight to parking lights and fog lights only

Interesting, what year?
