Will Variable Light Distribution (VLD) work on US spec M2?
As the tile suggests, will Variable Light Distribution work on the US spec M2's easily?

Press the top one. It will uncheck the one below it. Now you can enable one of the two 'enable' options (if there are two). Back out. Go back in. Both correct selections should have the blue check mark next to them. |

OP was asking about VLD which isn't the same as anti dazzle (GFHB). They're not interchangeable terms.

I assume it will be identical to the outgoing M3/M4 so you should be good to go. Last edited by AndrewC1989; 05-20-2018 at 12:04 AM.. |

Last I looked into it, VLD yes, anti Dazzle? Well some say FOR SURE you can code it, other say FOR SURE you can't and you are just shining high beams at other drivers. The people who say it does work seem to be driving around a little bit and then say from the perspective of the driver seat it works perfect. They didn't bother to ask the other drivers though.

I have it coded in for fun but hardly ever use it as my M2 is not my DD and I almost never drive it at night. |

The current understanding of GFHB (among those of us who have been messing with the settings on NAR-spec M2s with adaptive LEDs) is that the NAR-spec LED headlight modules are missing the proper micro-shutters to correctly mask out "windows" with the lights.
You can turn it on, it seems to work, but you're probably blinding/glaring other people, which makes you an asshole. If you swap your headlights for ROW-spec, then you'd probably be fine... at a cost of $thousands. VLD is fine and safe to enable though. Works nicely at lower speed, spreads lower and wider and helps you see stuff in the road or whatnot.

So I'm not getting this with bimmercode.
I go into Front Electronic Module > Expert Mode > 3073 LaMaster1 > LUT_FLC_FORWARDLIGHTING_Y > and there is no 9c there are 4 things with the dot you can select but only one. Am I missing something? I've used Bimmercode many times but never in Expert mode.
