LCI headlights with adaptive LED
Sorry in advance but I can't seem to find the answer for the adaptive LEDs.
When do the inner headlights light up? The ones that are closer to the grille I mean. I see on low beam the outer lights come on. On high beam they are brighter. Both hex angel eyes are on. |

I've got adaptive leds on my g01 x3 M40i and both sets are on. So I assumed these were similar. |

You need to turn on daytime running lights in the idrive menu.

I will ask my dad...I would have guessed that those light up on the side you’re turning to, as long as the light switch is on the automatic setting (I don’t think the adaptive aspect works if you’ve turned it into the “on”).

What you have labelled "NEVER ON" is correct, it will never light up. The glass lens of those inner 'fake headlights' is also carried over from the pre LCI bi-xenon lights, stand back and look head-on and you can see they are different to the outer LED lenses.

Great picture.
I had no idea this was the case - any clue why that light isn’t functional?

You could be right of course...but if that was the approach, why have the fake one there? It costs something too.

Likely aesthetics. Would look "off" if there were nothing inside the inner ring. they need to keep the inner ring as this is the BMW trademark...the double halos.

A fake lens with no inner costs around 5 dollars in materials - a LED headlight with adaptive function would likely cost 600+ dollars at cost + R&D time + more testing to meet DOT / ECE standards ETC ETC ETC - that is why.

There should be a way to code the car so the DRLs are off when the lightswitch is in the "0" (off) position too, I believe. I was messing with it the other day but then it got cold again here and I haven't gone back out to mess with it. One of the things I liked about my TT was that the DRLs would turn off if you put the headlight switch to 0. In Auto, they'd come on during the day as expected.
