Hello there,

If you look on the following link, you will find a map of Lexia owners who are willing (and, probably, experienced enough) to help;

I will be happy for you to do what you need. If anybody could give guidance it might help.
If it is complicated, then a slightly longer run may be best....up to you your most welcome if you do come this way

BTW, whats a DRL :) ??....that is how BAD I am at it

Hi,

I am happy to give it a go and am reasonably confident using the software but its been a while. I have read and erased fault codes and done some actuator tests just to have a play. No promises but happy to try. Ill load it up over the weekend and remind myself how it works and see if i can find where the menus we need would be.

From a previous post on a similar subject:

"For those with a C5 III (X7) without the Daytime Running Lights option on their instrument panel...........
I've just had a quick session with my Diagbox and enabled the Daytime Running Lights via: BSI --> Repair --> Configuration --> Manual Configuration --> Customisation Customer. This has now put the DRL option onto the instrument panel and they work successfully. There are two options in the BSI for them: DRL on their own, or DRL plus sidelights.
Cheers,
Robin"

Hope that helps.
Sadly no longer a C5 owner :(
