should my headlights turn when i corner?

essex_lad · 01-10-2015, 05:34 PM

Iv been wondering this for a while but never asked, are all e92 pre lci headlights able to move left or right for cornering as mine don't seem to do it but they do go up and down when I start the car?

I think you mean adaptive headlights?

See my thread. 2 headlight questions.... on this page.

I didn't think mine were after I got it either, but I sat in my garage with the lights on at night and turned the wheel. I could tell easier against the garage wall that they were turning than when on the road. Once I did that I could tell on the road too. Try that and see if they are turning. HTH

don't seem to turn, just go up and down when I start the car.

If they are adaptive then they should follow your steering wheel.. You can adjust the sensitivity in the idrive menu..

I havnt seen that option so I'm guessing they are just self leveling plus Iv read there is meant to be writing around the lenses but mine is just blank.
