Increasing the brightness of the DRL on the G30 LCI

Hi all. I made retrofitting with adaptive LED headlights (S552) instead of the base headlights on a G30 LCI '22. Everything works well, but the brightness of the DRL is weak. In fact, it does not change when the dipped beam is turned on. The welcome light is very bright. I would like to adjust the brightness of the DRL the same way. As I understand it, this is done in the FLM2 block, but I did not find the parameters. Can you please advise?

Copy the byte from WELL(welcome light) to POLI(drls) where there is no 00.

There is one problem. I don't have those options "3004 LmmB, FC". Here is a general list of items in the attachment

Unfortunately, there are no such parameters (POL, POLI1_Idx, WELL1_Idx and others) Perhaps these are parameters for the first version of FLM?

I can’t even imagine how it will be possible to convert this file into a text file. Can you indicate which items you are interested in, I will open the branch, pull out the parameters and take a screenshot?
For example in this way:

Here are all the possible options. Most likely you need to conjure with the parameters Lmm

Had a look at the file. It looks like this a new cafd. I dont know how its mapped. You can try finding out the drl sections by modifying the FA to enable and disable DRL and comparing the cafds. You can use esys coding verification section to do this.

Here is the cafd in text format if someone want to have a look.

LCI vehicles use 6DF0 or 43AF and coding is not as obviously broken into different situations like DRL, POL1, etc.

How did you code the new headlights. VO coding with new SALAPA should automatically set correctly for 100% brightness and then dimmed with low beams. Are you saying Coronas are always dimmed at same intensity for DRL, low beams, welcome lights, etc?

I coded the headlights according to VO, the DRLs shine brighter than with the low beam, but not 100%. In the welcome light, the brightness is higher than in the DRL mode. This is visible visually.

Standard on all headlights for the coronas to dim with low beam. It is rare for the welcome lights to be brighter.
