Another LED headlight question
Evening , I’ve been reading the posts regarding the various types , so after having mine for aweek and been driving home at night I’ve got to experience the LED lights .
So mine do move left to right , have to manually turn on/off high beam And I have cornering lights . My question is and I can’t beleive I asking this is what are the lights circled in the picture because they are not high beam as this is in the same bulb as the dipped ( outside light) neither are they the fasher or parking as these are the DRLS I’m lost , I have lights that don’t seem to do anything Help

Hi,
It’s from the G01 technical training documents that I saw a while back posted on here. There are about 12 documents in all that cover most of the systems on the new X3 in great detail. Here they are:- https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showt...ning+documents Cheers Steve |

Yep.
Unfortunately it's the American spec, so some things are left out for us over here.. but the G30 or G12 guide can help as well.

For some reasons, the pdf files attached in that thread will not show in the Bimmerpost App that I use 99% of time... so I posted a web link there in that thread too for folks like myself... |

so according to the PDF there are three different type of lights, on full adaptive led there are two low and two high beams per headlight, which probably explains why on the mid level LED they use a dummy light for continuity across the line.

Google is your friend. Or the forum search function.

For the 2nd level, the DRLs are as you noticed symmetrical with classic bmw circles, sort of, two per side.

It is to have a consistent look in the BMW line-up. Base X3 with halogen lamps (seldom found on dealer's lot though) and full-LED X3 both use all four lights.
Previous F25 X3 also had dummy lights if equipped with Bi-Xenon upgrade. Quote:

According to the coding guru Almaretto it seems like something small is actually missing to make it a complete anti dazzle light, even though all coding is done. On the option 552 light offered in the states. Perhaps this is not fully sorted out, yet. /n |

i know the Adaptive LED assembly used in US is different than EU version(s). On US cars there is a small yellowish orange corner marker light that is absent in EU. Other difference is quite possible that makes full anti-dazzle function impossible for US cars...

At least it looks better on the G01 than on the F25 where if you looked closely into the center of the dummy light, you'd see a circuit board. LOL - they couldn't even cover it up.
