Wierd e92 lighting problem

bmwhomosapien · 10-07-2006, 09:59 PM

Ok... so i have my lights turned on auto and i selected them to be on sensitive mode, which basically keeps the light on all the time... but you know how there is 4 lights (the one's with the corona lighting around them) Anyways the outer lights are what shine the xenon's. But the inner lights have been wierd lately. Anyways... everytime i put it in drive either the left or right inner light turns on.. they don't turn on at the same time, and vice versa. it does this when i put it in reverse also. and then after a few seconds they turn off.

Is it the "corner illuminating lights" of the E92?

I think its just the cornering lights

They will be off when driving straight and will then shine a light left or right if your turn left or right. It does it in reverse aswell and only in hte A position

You are wrong!

Those inner lights (aka the highbeam lights) are used for the cornering lights. You can test this by taking your car in front of a big window. Turn the wheel hard to the right...the right one lights up. Turn it to the left...the left one turns on...

The lights will also point to the direction of the blinkers when you are in Drive. How did you adjust the sensitivity of the Auto light?
