Hi, yes I do. If you requested an access to see the module installation instructions, you requested it to an old version which is no longer available.

Our 2018 Acenta has the dimming function.
I never even knew about it until reading this thread today, I did know that certain J11B's fitted with the LED headlights, the DRL's switched off whilst using an indicator.
I've just been out to check and was pleasantly surprised to see both DRL's dimming. I must keep an eye out for earlier cars and see if their indicators are drowned out.

They fixed it on face-lifted J11, I believe because of my car safety claims that I reported in the UK and in Germany pointing on that Nissan Qashqai is potentially dangerous to drive and should be withdrawn road worthy approval/ certification. I reported that all J11 cars should be recalled and fixed with software modifications of BCM module. Do you think that anyone cared? I have tones of emails with replies out of interest and finger pointing to someone else. Attached one example of my report. That was the trigger point of me developing the DRL module for my own car…
