Laser Headlights 100% brightness

I was wondering if anyone knows if I can code my headlights to 100% brightness. I'm not looking to unlock the Anti-Dazzle feature (where the beams shape around on coming objects). I feel as if my headlights could be brighter. I tried searching through the forum and couldn't find any answer directly related to the brightness specifically. And if so, any recommendations for anyone that can code my car remotely or in the Northern NJ area.

I will have to see if I can find it but there is a discussion that the brightness we have is equal to that of the European models and it is just a rumor that the US version of the lasers are not as bright.

I've also seen mention of some physical limitation in US lasers (mechanical plug?) vs actual coding. Maybe experienced coders could step in with comments? If intensity can be coded, and it's been done, perhaps a comparison?

It all seems to be coding according to many but not sure anything has been verified. Here a thread where it is discussed along with the coding info.

It's crazy because I've searching endless amounts of forums and messaged people but still can't find an answer. I've seen others ask exact question yet same story for them.
