The high beams stay on as expected, and they do move around cars, but there isn't a dark area in the center, so you'll end up dazzling oncoming drivers and your high beams will shine into cars in front as well.

Does anyone know how much of this is in Canada? We don't have the same spec as US

If you have 5AP on your build, then you don't have the Glare Free High Beam, which is not what this thread was about, but is very cool. As I said, I've not been able to get GFHB / NGHB to work on my LCI US M2, and I've heard that it's not possible on the Pre-LCI cars either.

As I've said in the past, I had a terrible experience with BimmerCode, and now that I understand more about how it works, would not use it myself, and would also not recommend it to others. I'm not the only person that ended up needing to get dealer help to get their car going again after using BimmerCode. I'd actually say that if you're not an engineer / coder, BimmerCode is even more dangerous to use, because if things go wrong, you'll really be in trouble, whereas with E-Sys, the community would help you out, and you'd have the tools to fix it. With BimmerCode, you don't have any tools to fix issues, and you're reliant on the lone developer to try and help you, which in many cases, he can't - his advice to me by email was to head to the dealer because there was nothing he could do, even though he acknowledged that using BimmerCode caused the issue.

S563A Light package S5ACA High-beam assistant S5APA Decode, anti-glare FLA high-beam assist S8S4A Decoding variable light distribution so I assume it's possible to get VLD to work, or work better than it does now. |

Bingo, I didn't think it would be that hard for a local to guess.

Let us know how it turns out and if you could see the difference. Thanks.

Thanks for the vid, Nezil, very cool. I'm a bit confused though... I have an '18 LCI w/ Exec pkg, and my build sheet lists 5AC, 5AP AND 8S4. The way I'm reading some of these posts makes me think by having 8S4 means VLD won't work. But by virtue of having an LCI '18 w/ exec, I can, right? I can still simply code on VLD and have my lights work like yours are, correct? Cheers and sorry for the confusing post. |

You can simply code VLD back on again, by changing the coding options I gave earlier; that's all I did, and that's what you see in the video.

No, the opposite, it means you can use coding to enable it.

Nezil after coding how can you tell you have enabled VLD?

The easiest way is to park near to a wall at night, and set your headlights to Auto. VLD only works in Auto, not when you manually switch to 'On', and not when you're in reverse either.
So, switch between 1st and Reverse, or Auto and On, and you'll see a big difference. Then, when in Auto, move the steering left and right just a little, and you'll see the headlights pivot way more than they did before you enabled VLD. Then... go for a drive... it should be pretty obvious!
