More info on the lights that you installed. If you went aftermarket there nothing to code

Besides some minor things regarding the LED running lights there is not much you can code on aftermarket lights, just leave them alone if the y are working as they should

thats the problem, they are not lighting anything, i need to use high beams to see 5 meters infront of me.

You mentioned that you are using LED bulbs correct? Chances are that the bulbs are installed at the wrong angle or they are not strong enough, I have Morimoto's 2 stroke LED bulbs on Ed's replicas and the work fine, very bright high beam is not so great, my cat comes with halogens from the factory and no coding was needed ,the issue could be your bulbs

The software switches that tell the Central electric module what type of headlights are installed in the car are in Byte 2, Bits 0-1.
The allowable values for these two bits are:
Halogen=hex0
Halogen_main_beam_assist=hex1
Xenon_AFS=hex2,
Xenon_AFS_and_main_beam_assist=hex3
Bi-xenon_AFS=hex4
Bi-xenon_AFS_and_main_beam_assist=hex5
Bi-xenon_AFS_and_MDF_GLW= hex6
Undefined = hex7
The value on your car for Byte2 is hex18, so your binary value is 0001 1000. This means that Bits 0-1 for this Byte have a value of hex0 - so halogen fittings (which I assume was the original factory setting.
As to whether this value needs to change - this depends entirely on your new headlights. If they are not true OEM fittings, then anything is possible.
But if you simply changed the lamps - then you might want to examine the "lastyp" channel on the Leuchte-sets for these lamps

with some research online i saw that bit 2 is for the ones i have and i changed and nothing happend which sucks.

Would it be beneficial for those of us with halogen housings and using HID's for the low beams to change this setting or a similar setting so that the module knows that HID's are being used?
I thought the LED settings in OBDII are for factory LEDs and not aftermarket headlights? Shouldn't the aftermarket ones be plug and play?
