That's your DRL. Check in your settings if they're enabled or disabled. If they're enabled and they dont go on, maybe you got a problem.

Nope; in addition of your angel lights, you're supposed to get a Day riding light (DRL) that is basically where you say your black lense is.

I am telling you to check your settings cause some models have it on by default (Like us in Canada and some early US pre-lci E90) and some dont have em on at all (Like LCI US models).

I am not aware of your model's spec but regardless of the factory settings; you can turn them on and off as you please in your settings.

Check your manual to see how; the method is different if you have Idrive or not.

They're only DRL on the pre-LCI. On the LCI, those are cornering lights and flash-to-pass.

That is correct. Forgot that LCI uses angel eyes as DRL. I stand corrected.

In this case OP you should be able to make them work by tilting your high beam stick towards you. This activates the flash to pass. Tilting the stick away from you toggles your high beams.
