Deactivate/turn off the eyebrows

JPuehl · 05-12-2017, 06:29 PM

Does anyone know to deactivate or turn off the eyebrows light bar on the front of a '12 135i? I'm not a fan of that light and like the look of my wife's '11 335i much better. I'd like to turn it off and install one of the mean look covers that other have done.

Why didn't I think of that? Because I don't like the pre LCI headlights.

I wish we were neighbors! I'd trade and do the work for both of us. Funny how what one person likes, another does not.

I love this. So happy I have an 08. I thought the LED bar on too made it look so feminine or something.

You have different options to deactivate them:

1. You can disable them by coding
2. You can try to unplug the corresponding wire. You shouldn’t get a check control message - normally the LEDs aren't monitored.
3. As ShocknAwe mentioned: You can get my EU Pre-LCI headlights and I take yours.
