CAR IS F01, BUT LIKELY SIMILAR TO F10/F11

Hello everyone.

I am newbie when it comes to coding, but can follow instructions..

I bought aftermarket headlights from AliExpress for my F01.

They were plug and play, no coding required to work, meaning I haven’t coded anything for them.

I had adaptive bi xenon’s before before.

Main difference is that the new ones are LED and don’t have AFS/cornering lights.

They required to move over the headlight modules from the old lights to the new ones.

I am experiencing the error: side/daytime lights fault.

The angel eyes in the drivers side go out, everything else still works.

As soon as I shut off the car and restart it (even instant restart) they work perfectly again for another 30 min / 1hr.

Which makes me believe it’s a coding issue.

I have scanned it with Bimmerlink and get these two codes in FRM:

800F88: The output daytime running light / left position light has a short circuit

800F8C: Left cornering light defective

Any ideas?
I have BimmerCode and hoping someone can guide me a little which parameters to change in expert mode.

I think I am looking for a way to code out AFS and cornering lights on my car, but not sure.

Thank you very much in advance!

Of course you get errors if you downgrade the headlights without doing the required coding.

The car expects AFS headlights and you installed non-AFS headlights. Need to code out AFS to get rid of those faults.

Exactly, which is the reason I am asking for help how to do it via BimmerCode :-)

I just tried a simple google search using BMW code off afs headlights ….and got this result at the very top: https://www.bimmerfest.com/threads/h...ghting.921910/

Since the f10 uses the same control module (FRM) as the f01…perhaps the coding parameters will work for you. There were also other results so try using the same search phrase in a google search to see if the other results have coding parameters that may work for your situation.

Good luck.

Thank you so much, you're an absolute legend for finding this for me!
For some reason I couldn't find those forums..
I will try the things they described they did. Thanks again!

You’re welcome…I hope the coding works for your situation.
