angel eye brightness

mblaucoupe135 · 02-09-2019, 05:34 PM

I have a 2019 m240i and was wondering if anyone knew what the stock angel eye brightness is set at? the reason I ask is I was using the bimmercode app and when I clicked on angel eyes, it said the brightness percent was unassigned so wondering what value to choose if I want them brighter.

I think stock settings are 100% when DRL and 8% with low beams? Not 100% positive tho...

that sounds right, but maybe someone else can confirm. I turned the angels up to 50% when the low beams are on, but haven't had a chance to test them yet.

If I remember correctly, factory is set at 15%. I bumped mine up to 50%.

Yeah, there is a noticeable difference. I think 100% would be way too bright.

interesting, thanks for the info. decided to turn my all the way up to 100% because I figured why not have them as bright as possible.

My factory settings on a 2017 230i were 8% before coding to 50%

The "why not" is a potential significant reduction in life, and it being unnecessary in the daytime given their purpose.

I am curious if you still have the vehicle and ever had an issue with their function? I have no idea how long they will last in reality - could be a billion years for all I know... Though I have read of some partial burnouts on some cars.

Makes me wonder what I set mine to all that time ago...

Unfortunately I no longer have the car so couldn't see how they held up over the long haul.
