Bimmergeeks said they could enable welcome lights even on older models.
I know the FRM2 and FRM3 have that feature available. You can also code exactly which lights are enabled.

the reason i ask is because i had and frm 2 coded last night. now the welcome light option comes up, but nothing happens. no lights come on when opening or closing the car. they guy said i might need to have light sensor and auto lights, is this true?

I have them coded on our 07, which I am almost certain is FRM2 and works fine!

The switch needs to be in auto mode to enable welcome lights. The battery also needs to be topped up. I believe all American market cars have auto lights, so I can't confirm whether that is necessary.
