Question E91 LCI cornering lights

I just discovered my inner headlights are not used for high beams, which I always assumed. They seem to never turn on, also not when turning. I suspect this feature has been disabled. I have 2 questions:

- How can I check and possibly enable this feature in code with for example NCS expert?
- Is it also possible to use the front fog lamps as cornering lights instead of the inner headlights?

You probably don't have adaptive headlights. The standard Xenons (With the black inner lenses) do not have cornering lights. Now if you've got frosted glass inner lights, then you've got adaptives which do have cornering lights.

I see, that makes sense. But what are the inner lights used for in that case?

Is your headlight switch set to auto?

It's not a light, it's a lense that houses the angel eye bulb.

Make sure your switch is set to Auto. If they are in the manual on mode, then the cornering lights are not activated.
