I looked up the switchgear - def a different unit for USA Mkt - so does the new retrofit for EU DRL remove the error in diagnostics?

Now this could just be a coincidence but since installing and activating the EU daytime running lights I've noticed a couple of odds things:
1. When I first made the change the TFT showed a new white icon on the bottom for this new DRL mode. I still had only 1 green icon on the left side which is for the OEM LED fog/driving lights. I've recently noticed a second green icon immediately above the LED one which I believe is also for the DRL? If so, I wonder why it didn't show for about a week?
2. The X pattern of this DRL is not as bright as the NA/CDN model, specifically the two horizontal LED lines on the NA/CDN mode
3. The OEM LED fog/driving lights are not as bright as they were.
Anyone else notice any of these changes?
Thanks...

its intriguing you are saying things aren't as bright now,
on the cars it was always USA spec BMW cars that had deliberately dim headlights for the USA market - you can code them to euro spec and they get much brighter on the E89 models (1995 to 2011 3 series) and I expect all the others too
I can see maybe there are brightness issues for DRL that might differ between various markets and likely the same limitations could exist on spot lights...
may be they are now fog lights rather than aux driving lights - fogs are meant to light the road just in front to look under the fog - rather than flare up and blind you like driving lights would in heavy fog
