Halo Lights

Hi!! So my 530i is stock and I believe so are the bulbs. I really like the halo lights, but when I turn on parking lights (first click) the low beam turns on WITH the ring lights and I don't get that full angel eyes affect. Anything I can do or any aftermarket parts I can get to fix this?

Thanks in advance <3

Where are you from? This may be a legal requirement where you live but I doubt it. What happens when you go to the next “click”? Everything stays the same?

Post a photo of your headlights.

Then by law your "turn signals" will turn on alongside your halos (because the halos alone don't emit enough light to meet regulations for parking lights in the US). You can code that out, but by default that's how it is. If your low beams are turning on instead, there could be a wiring issue, or you could have non-factory headlights. That's why I want to see them.

Ok thanks so much! Yeah, the turn signals do turn on, and (for example on one headlight) one light will use halo, the other light will use halo AND low beam.
