I think DRL's make lots of sense and should be required by law. Especially those idiots who forget to put their lights on at night.

My motorcycle and all others in the USA require a DRL

Cars took it from motos, now motos have to use highbeams to be even that much more visible. I dont think cars need DRLS.

OP, you cant see them from inside the car, what does it matter? Its not like the rear LEDS look bad..

[ndog14]

Is this thread still going? Who cares if the rear lights are on during DRLs? Is it that big of a deal? Shut up and drive

[MPort13]

Hahaha... It was just a question I posed. Just coz.... I was curious. It's not a huge deal at all. If you re-read the thread, I'm cool with it.Just wasn't sure if there was a way to turn it off.

Looks like they changed it again. Got a new 2012 335is cabrio two weeks ago (lease on my 2009 Z4 3.5 was up). My Z4 had the "always on" rear tubes (just like the cars noted here), but on my new 335is, the rears only come on with the headlights, no matter what the DRS setting...

Ok then,
Has anyone figured out, how to code off those tail lights in DRL mode on E90 '11?

[Okbye2]

Anyone????

[xG35c]

Miscoded from the factory - and it went on for a long time! My late 2011 was delivered with the rear "DRL" taillights off.
Dealer should be able to figure it out (but will probably charge you an hour of labor).

I personally really like that the DRLs are really "parking lights." It always seemed dumb to me that if DRLs are supposed to make you more conspicuous why are the only lights that you have on in the front of the car? Once I noticed this I said to myself "that's really smart" and I liked my car that much better. I wouldn't change it!

Props to BMW as well for using the angel eyes for DRLs and not high beams. I hate high beam DRLs so much.

[spicytofu]

i like them on. Saw a LCI model go though an underpass, looks nice. I will keep mine on.

[N55]

my 2012 E92 335is doesn't have rear DRLs. Does anyone know if BMW coded them out on MY 2012?

[Ads_Essex]

I think the rear DRL's have been deleted from newer models,
on ones I've seen at least it looks that way.

I'm not a fan of rear DRL's. I don't like the idea of someone not noticing the light has got brighter because you're braking, and hitting you up the arse. I wish I could code them out on my motorbike for that reason alone.

OP, did you get them coded out? I wouldn't mind getting that done myself. And sorry for digging up such an old thread) still, it saved a duplicate post clogging up the forum eh ;-) )

Usually they are just the front lights.

With iDrive, I can only turn DRL off but that turns off the front as well. Any thoughts? Ideas? Knowledgable answers? Thanks all!

say what

[wildcatcrazy69]

Sorry to revive a thread, but I just coded a 2011 E90 that had new software flashed to the FRM3. After flash (and before coding) rear DRL was off. After I coded amber delete and a couple of other non-light related items, the rear DRLs came on and can't figure out a way to get them off.

I tried resetting FRM through expert mode, manually changing the values back to default. Nothing has worked...

Has anyone figured out how to code off the rear DRLs?

[PTinVT]

I like DRLs, because so few people use "parking lights" that it's a way to see "this parked/stopped car is running and may start moving at any moment (and assume the driver is an idiot and won't look or signal)". I'd be OK if all cars had rear DRL as well.

Agreed!

EU has even instituted a a DRL law, So its now mandatory on all new vehicles. No biggie for me, Sweden has had laws on mandatory DRL´s/lowbeams since the late 70´s.

That's right Amullo,
you tell them, what it is like with DRL in the Nordic countries. DRL do shorten your detection time of the vehicle in front of you or coming at you. The days can be "less sunny" up here!

Are you sure it's not dark enough for your Auto Headlights to come on?

[Gaspo]

The F serie dosent have rear taillight when drl is on. All new cars with drl have this.

[HCGxKaLiBeR]

I have the 09 E93. Rear lights make it look wider and better.
I'm sure you can code it out. This guy might be able to help you: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=965895
He helped me coded a few things and flashed to Alpina B3.

[J. Dub]

Does anyone know the vaules to code out DRL for tail light?
