E92 Xeon Inner Headlamps don't illuminate

[andrewr]

As the title, I have a 2007 E92 330D with Xeon Headlamps. The inner headlamps don't illuninate even on main beam. The only thing that lights up is the angle eye side lamp.

Main beam comes on in the outer lamp.

Is this correct.

Thanks

Yep - bi xenons.

When you flick from low beam to high beam the outer lamps should show the change - get someone to do it for you whilst you stand in front of the car.

That's what mine do. I expected the inside ones to work also.

Thanks for your help

so what do the inner ones do?

[andrewr]

Angel Eye side lamp only

And directional lights on adaptive systems. As well as the main lights swivelling, if you indicate or turn the wheel with sufficient lock, the inside light on the relevant side illuminates and throws a beam of light sharply off to the left or right. First time I noticed this was in a reflection of my headlights in the car in front while indicating to turn left and I thought one of the headlights was out!
