I noticed my friend's bmw 3 series's headlights turn on automatically when he unlocks the car. is there any way i can do it with my IS ?

Thanks in advance

You could set the headlights to auto and will turn it on for you, but it depends on if it dark enough outside.

Maybe you can contact these guys to see what they say. This is the first I have heard of anyone asking for that feature.

Best thing to do is leave them on auto. The LED daytime running lights will turn on once the car is started, but not once the car is unlocked.

Is it his full headlights, or just the halos that come on? I know the halos (both stock on newer Bimmers and aftermarket ones) can be wired to come on(tapped into interior lights) when the car is unlocked with the key or the fob.

Mercs have their headlights fully on when its in "Auto" mode.

our 3IS will only have the DRLs on. which i think may actually be good for the longevity of the xenons. But for those with LED headlights, no issues then.

My front leds and rear lights turn on when I unlock the car "HID headlights".

Yes, but he said BMW, not Mercedes.

lol im and idiot. unlocked my car from afar today, noticed my runner lights and tail lights turned on immediately.

Absolutely. But OP is looking for headlights on when the car is unlocked. Anyone been able to make this happen?

update: ths daytime running lights seem to turn on when i leave the lights on 'auto'. Will these lights turn off automatically (after timing out)? Or will they stay on even if i lock my car? Just don't want to risk coming back to the parking lot with a dead battery....

They will turn off in 15/30 seconds

Play with your setting preferences on your car through the computer screen.

You can set up all the configurations, and even take your car to the dealer, they can have your windows and sun roof open if you hold the unlock button.
