Think Carly is just BMW, you'll also need a compatible obd interface (cable/bluetooth).
If you're up near NW London I can do it with NCS.

An old thread but....

I've finally got round to fitting the led angel eye bulbs.
As expected I have the dash light on and also the front indicator lights are permanently lit.
I've got Carly but not sure exactly what to disable.
The sidelight ( or was it parking light ) monitor was already switched off.
Low beam and high beam are selected, but I presume they are the main xenons.

These are in the lights module (comfort and cabriolet modules present but nothing in there)

Anyone used Carly who can help advise what to select??

There are 3 checks: hot, cold and dash. I've not used Carly but can only assume that, if the dash warning is still on, it has disabled one of the other checks.
If you're near NW London then I can do it with NCS.

Thanks for the offer. I'm in Sussex on the coast.
I bought Carly to do this myself cause I'm a stubborn bugger!

I'm sure it can, I just don't know how to use it.

Just been on the Carly website and they recommend deactivating some of the other lights (not parking) as they may not be aligned perfectly in the software!
Worth a try.

Turn them all off and give yourself something to do before every drive :lol: I have a set of LED brake and indicators in the rear, they're much more effective.

What you need to do is disable them all. Silly but that's not Carly seems to go around it. Had to do it on mine, not fussed as it's easy to check. Rears can be left as is of course.

That's what I did. Deactivated all the front, left the rears alone. :thumbsup:

Now to look at replacing some of the others for LEDs now.

I actually went back to normal bulbs for the halo bulbs, went to 20w osraam bulbs, originals were 10w. I found the LEDS to be very dim and saw an old thread about the higher wattage bulbs. Much better but still got the yellow hue
