LED Headlights

The light I have in question is the white led stripe on top of the corona shaped ones, it seems the stripe is a bit dimmer and a bit yellow tint than the pure white corona, is there a code to change just that strip to match the brightness of the corona? if so can someone point me to the code?

Thanks in advance

Do you have a pic. There should not be a difference between the brightness at all.

And please remember to give enough info/details so that the forum knows EXACTLY what you're referring to. You give no model year info...and there's two slightly different LED headlight designs based on model year/build date.

The LCI's turn indicator is above the headlight...the pre LCI the turn indicator is below the headlights...so that small "eyebrow" has slightly different illumination set-up.

Pics below: 1st pic = pre LCI. 2nd pic = LCI

Are PRE LCI and LCI swappable with coding? Or are the housings and mounting brackets different?
