What are cornering lights?
What is the purpose of "cornering lights"?
I have a 04/2007 E90 335i with xenon adaptive headlights and FRM2. Does this thing have "cornering lights"? I've heard that they are the inner headlights while the outside headlights are used for low/high beam. The only time I've seen my inner headlights come on is when I use my flashers. They don't come on in reverse or when the turn signal is on. EDIT: I looked on youtube and found a demonstration of how they work. So now my question is why don't mine work? They have not been coded out as far as I know. The car was bone stock when I got it. Last edited by ferocity02; 08-15-2014 at 12:06 AM.. |

I coded my angel eyes to be my DRL's, could this have caused them not to work? Although I have never seen the cornering lights come on even before the coding. |

My 2009 335 xDriver had the same issue. The dashboard also gave me the error code. I ended up with buying a used "Footwell Module FRM ECU Adaptive Headlamps" from eBay and replaced it under the driver side dashboard. After replaced it, everything works.

When I got my car [2011 335i E92] the fog lamps were the cornering lamps; they'd come on when I'd turn the wheel and the switch was in Auto. My inner lights would never come on.
I did get several software updates done and one re-flashed the footwell module. After that, my inner headlights became my cornering lights and fog lights did not come on when I turned the wheel. I much preferred this, as they provided much more light on the road. Having said that, I feel this is something that can be updated via software. |

I should also note I've seen several different BMWs (brand new and E9x gen) that have varying lights; sometimes when their turn signal is on, their fog lamp is on, other times it's the inner light.

Does a pre-lci E90 even have cornering lights? The spot where the cornering lights are on the LCI cars (to the inside of the bi-xenon projectors) are halogen high beams on pre-LCI E90s.
