I was under the impression that cornering lights were standard across all X5's...

They should illuminate on turns, and they don't - and it's noticeable on dark roads too. This needs to be fixed.

Yep, I was wondering about that diagram as well. But every non-laser headlight I’ve seen doesn’t have the cornering light cutout. It’s just solid black plastic in the corner of the light with no additional mirrors. Perhaps someone with the standard lights can post a photo. I didn’t snap one at the dealer.

I think we can all agree on that... the question is how to get BMW to admit this error and fix it? My service guy said it was working when they tested it. Obviously, he was wrong.

Here is a standard headlight (found it posted by someone else in the forum). No cornering light.

Is it just me or is this thread like Groundhog Day?

The issue appears to be software related. Has anyone actually raised this to a dealer to generate a PUMA case with BMW? My G05 is on order but on collection if the cornering lights don't work I will just ask them to investigate. I bet the next major software update will fix this.

Here is a shot showing the cut out...

Yes. I raised the issue with my dealer and they have an open case with BMWNA (you can scroll back to my posts about it). Still waiting for a response.

LOL ... I believe with LED the fog light should turn on as a corner/curb light. I strongly believe it is a software adjustment BMW NEED to take care of

Why do you think bmw wont let us all know they are aware of the problem and are working towards a fix for these different problems.

What does it say on the side of the headlight.. "BMW LED" or "BMW ADAPTIVE LED"? Also if you don't mind, what option packages did you get?

The conspiracy deepens... I have "BMW LED" and there's no cutout or cornering light hardware.

As far as I know there are 3 types of headlights one can order (at least in Europe this is the case):
1. Lasers - have cornering light
2. Adaptive LED - have cornering light
3. (Non-adaptive) LED. no cornering light.
Now it may be that in the US, you only either get 1. or 3.

According to the BMWUSA website, the US X5's come with #2 Adaptive LED standard and #1 Lasers are and option. The training doc schematic says both have the cornering light.

It would seem like there are two issues:

1. The training doc is wrong or they are using the wrong light assemblies for the Adaptive LEDs.

2. In all cases, the cornering lights when making a turn do not work.
