ModLight2 is our module for E39/E38/E53/Range Rover L322. ModLight2 adds several new functions to your vehicle. It uses digital, two-way IBUS communication with your Bimmer, i.e. reads IBUS telegrams (for example, the ones that are transmitted from your GM module when you press remote key buttons or when you turn your key to ignition position) sends digital commands to turn on lights (welcome/goodbye lights) or to add additional blinks to turn signals (comfort turn signals function). We are giving our best to develop our modules with functions as close as possible to the OEM functions from newer Bimmer models. ModLight2 is fully compatible with the following models:

5 series-E39 (all features)
7 series-E38 with LCM (all features), non-compatible with E38 equipped with the LM, instead of LCM module;
X5 (E53) (all features)
Range Rover L322 (all features).

All LCM and GM modules versions are compatible. Installation in the car is really simple, you must only connect three wires to your car’s wire harness: constant (permanent) 12V source, GND (ground) and IBUS wire. All these wires can be found in many locations in your car.

Once you connect these three wires to your car, modLight2 module is ready to use. It has simple two buttons user interface which you can use for enable/disable or configure its functions.
ModLight2 adds the following functions to your E39/E38/E53 car:

  1. When you unlock your car by clicking Unlock button on the remote key it starts function “Welcome Lights” which will make one of the following:
    a) starts parking lights for 10/15/20/25 seconds and at the end it ads the turn signals too for 1 second. You can add the foglamps to this cycle too.
    or
    b) starts the high beams + fog lamps + reverse lights for 10/15/20/25 seconds and then turns off.
    or

    Interesting gadget. Do you ship to Estonia?

  3. Stafan Kiryakoff (verified owner)

    I can’t live without it! I’m in love with modLight2, thank you very much!

    This is a great little product. In my 39 I connected it at the CD changer plug which already had a Dice fitted, so I used the supplied harness and spliced/soldered it in place and suck it to the hole left by the changer. The programming method is basic, but easy to understand and takes only a few minutes to zip through and set your desired options. So far I’ve had no reliability problems with the product or the car. Highly recommended.

    Using that already more than 1 year, and still cant get enough
    Seriously good device, works great and all functions are perfect.
    Many thanks!

    Amazing! Easy installation! I own a BMW E39 2003 and modlight2 works fine. Just plug&play!! I installed it on the trunk, behind the cover of left tail light there is a big white connector with the cables, easy to identify. One advice: in program mode you should be fast pressing the up button and enter button to select funtions and options menus. Otherwise it gets out of program mode and you will notice it because you won´t see the confirmation green and red lights. it took me a few tries to catch the trick . The instruction manual is very clear but I think it should be more detailed. There are funtions not clearly explained.

    Please I wanna know where do u sell that product

  8. Julian (verified owner)

    I’d still buy it even if it only had the welcome/goodbye lights. That function is so simple yet it’s one of those things I didn’t know I “needed” until I hooked it up and pressed the key for the first time. Almost all of the time the comfort blinkers work as intended, though I should mention that sometimes there will be a 1 second delay in about 1 out of every 40 taps of the turn signal. That is the only flaw I’ve discovered so far, but it happens so infrequently it doesn’t really bother me at all. All in all with the lock/unlock lights and the additional features that this little box has, the E39/E38 (with models being 20 years old now) blends right in with new cars of today.

    hello to all BMW lovers. I want to share my feedback about ModBMV. First of all, I want to thank the person who created this handy device such as Modlight, Thermostat Mod and other BMW car products. I have bought these devices and am very satisfied. Feature-rich, essential features that we use every day and we love that comfort and they work flawlessly. It is not the first year that I have ordered Modlight for friends, everyone is very happy. Today came the Thermostat Mod, I have already installed and feel the difference in engine operation and in driving dynamics, I reduced the temperature and was satisfied. Many thanks to ModBMV. I wish you all the best in your new endeavors.

    Best E39 Mode Ever! Works as described at all with zero faults! I now have a 20 year old 5 series (2001) with modern features.. Remote Folding Mirrors, Follow me home lights, comfort blinkers etc etc.

  16. daulby090

    Great bit of kit and easy to install! Literally took 10min to install as i’m a neat freak and tidied the cables so it could take less time to wire up. Programming looked scary to start with but it was simple using the 2 buttons.

    Exellent! It’s most cool retrofit for E-series i ever set eyes on.

  27. Serjıb

    Hello. The product worked fine. but all of a sudden the mirror folding feature and long pressing the lock button were disabled. We installed it in another vehicle. It works fine in that vehicle. In my car, I can open and close the mirrors from the inside. where is the problem? where should i look?

  29. Alex

    Great product but after installing I’m experiencing a quiet buzzing/humming in my speakers, any explication on why does this happen or how can I fix this issue ?
