As you steer the wheel, they will light up in the direction you have steering, therefore allowing you to see where you are heading.

How is that different from the adaptive movement that mine already make?

Adaptive LEDs cover up to approximately 15 degrees left/right. Cornering features activate and add additional lighting to LED headlights under the following circumstances (see photo). So if you're taking a extreme curve under 25 mph, cornering lights up even more of the area in dark that the adaptive LED doesn't cover.

Their primary function is to light up junctions but they also serve to help illuminate a wider field of view when you are manoeuvring at low speed.

your pic needs to show the right side of the light more. That's where the cornering LEDs are. Most likely you have the hardware because you have Laser lights.

you should given that you have the laser lights but your pic is missing the few inches to the right where the hardware would be.

I see what looks like the corner light but don’t see anything but an empty hole with a flashlight of any sign of any sort of bulb.

On mine it sure looks like it’s missing the light assembly on a dec buy.

FWIW my SA told me that light is reflected off of there

X54TH · 03-23-2019, 10:06 AM

So do they function like the F15 fog lights?

The LED is on top and shines down.

magna6882 · 03-23-2019, 07:21 PM

You have to look up and you almost can see the yellow led. Its almost in the reflection.

ScottMZ3 · 03-24-2019, 10:24 AM

Here you go. You can see the LED in the reflection.

mnewnam · 03-26-2019, 03:36 PM

I was going to wait for the big update but check engine light came on. They found the problem, but it takes 10 days for the part to get here from Germany. In the meantime they're going to open a PUMA case and prepare to do a software upgrade and IRAP once the part comes in. Hopefully it all works out. They seem very confident with the info I provided from this forum.

Ditto. Was disappointed when I found this out - even our previous 2016 X1 had the cornering lights

ScottMZ3 · 03-27-2019, 01:35 PM

I'm taking our X5 in tomorrow morning to get the new grill shutters installed (they failed), replace the passenger side interior front door lock button surround (it is loose and the corner is sticking out...its sharp), and update the software to 03/2019.30 to fix our CarPlay issues.

I'm also bringing the info from this thread with me to see if we can get BMW NA to remote into the car to activate the cornering lights. Wish me luck!
