Coding increased brightness for LCI LED headlight low beams, not just halos

Cammy5 · 12-29-2016, 08:19 PM

I'm rather underwhelmed with the low beam intensity/brightness on my LCI non-adaptive headlights. I've read that some people have coded their LED headlights to retain full intensity of the halos when the low beams are on but I'm interested in increasing the intensity of the low beams themselves and not the halos. Is this possible?

The low beams are never dimmed on non-adaptive led, unlike the halos. Making them brighter is not possible without exceeding the safe limits of the LED units themselves.

You may find that simply adjusting the alignment of headlights can help a lot

That's what I suspected. Thanks for confirming the information!
