DonB Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Is yours an earlier car? Could explain it? My 2002 325i has it. Anyway, best of luck with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtidaz Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 It's a 2005 330cd M Sport... I've no explanation I'm afraid but I'll let you know how I get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cevert1973 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Just to clarify, connecting to the footwell light will keep the lights on when the engine is running. I personally am not just after lights coming on when the car is unlocked. I want the angel lights on permanently when I'm driving.

vtidaz Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 No, you'll need it tapped into the accessories wire also (the one I pictured above) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cevert1973 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Cheers. I got the red and white with yellow dots wire. Just where to connect to is the issue. I guess, for what I'm after, the glove box torch is the best bet. Has anyone gone down the coding route? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtidaz Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 The red, white and yellow wire is the one you will need. I believe it can be coded but only as headlights, I don't think the sidelights have a DRL option. I've just finished mine, tapped to accessories wire and foot well light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazRave Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I believe it can be coded but only as headlightsI'll second that. I tried switching my side lights on as DLR the other day and could only manage to get the usual headlights to come on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtidaz Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 anyone near coventry done this?? Fancy doing mine ? Just bite the bullet and give it a go, I wasn't very comfortable doing mine but once you get started its actually quite simple. The thing I struggled with the most is getting the headlight out, it's wedged in there tight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
