Just picked up my 340i - cornering lights?
Just picked up my 340i with track package (no fog lights) and looks like there are no cornering lights at all, even with the fancy adaptive LED option I selected? I assumed with the fog light delete there would be a way to provide cornering coverage with the fancy LEDs. Oh well...

My adaptive LEDs on my 435 had cornering lights. Yours should. Is the switch on auto?
Now on my 335 with no fogs and HIDs I don't have them. I don't miss them anymore though..

I have adaptive LEDs on my 435i without fogs and they only do it when the switch is on auto, like mentioned by Blubaron. Tripped me up at first when I got my car. If that doesn't do the trick, take it to your dealer to verify that it's been coded in. It should be if you got the Adaptive lights as an option.
Good luck! |

Had fogs on my E90s. Don't miss them (or cornering light function) on my F30s.

And the switch is set to auto so sounds like BMW doesn't accommodate ok the LCI. For what it's worth, I was surprised to see the adaptive led lights move above speeds of 35mph. Literature stated otherwise. Overall, led are nice but no cornering which is a minus to me and the high beams don't throw as far or high. HID projectors are superior in my opinion.

My 428i GC had Adaptive LED Headlights with cornering lights built-in, on the inner sides of each headlight. My current 340i with Adaptive LED Headlights don't have this, I imagine its because of the new DRL design, it goes right to the inner sides of the headlights.

Fogs are a an absolute must for any car I have here. More light the better! They help me see the potholes in the dimly lit streets here. They Helped me avoid a huge crater. Other night.
And they just look better on the car than off, it looks like something is missing from the spot with them not there.

Without foglights, and with the fake "inner" headlight, how would you have cornering lights: Last edited by tex2670; 03-12-2016 at 06:57 PM.. |

Adaptive HID Xenon system is much better IMHO than LEDs. I'm convinced the change to LEDs obey more to financial reasons than lighting quality or power (especially speaking of high beams). Excellent day! |

I did like the LEDs a little better. It was a brighter white. There were times I thought the LEDs were not as widespread or far, but I honestly think they are the same. The F32 with LEDs did have cornering lights.. And I loved how they projected from the car. Also, the DRLs seemed a little bit better on the F32.

For OP: I think you can install the original (halogen/LED) fog lights and code the cornering feature, with some little patience... Last edited by Mauricio Palacios. MD; 03-12-2016 at 04:59 PM.. |
