i did some more testing, as well as checked out the headlamp CAN. here is what i found

1. i took out the HCM, and the headlamps acted interestingly. once it was unplugged, they never changed from what they were doing just before then
2. i unplugged the left headlamp to do some CAN sniffing with a little thing i bought. interestingly, the little grill corner light stopped lighting up too
3. i discovered that US models do not have automatic headlamp leveling
4. the headlamp CAN has a baud rate of 500Kbps
5. here are some of the IDs i saw speaking over the bus: 062, 605, 604, 050, 077. 604 and 605 often just sent 8 bytes of all zero, but when 062 said "00 00 1B 5B 6B 80 00 00", i nearly cried because of such a touching message they sometimes mirrored it right back. 050 always sent 7 bytes instead of 8. 062's message converted to decimal reads "0, 0, 27, 91, 107, 128, 0, 0"
6. this little CAN sniffer i got only updates every 2 seconds. yikes

Point 2, the little grill light is linked with the headlamps if I remember.

Point 3 is what I said a few post back.
European cars have automatic headlamp leveling.

All other things I don't understand at all lol.

i have a faint suspicion that Prog_Legend's work is not purely software based like he claims. i ran out of daylight today, but tomorrow i am going to continue trying to get this. at least its narrowed down even further, though. it has to be either the HCM, the LDCMs, or the wiring between them, because the top bar lights are controlled by the headlamp CAN, which only includes the headlamps and HCM
