the inner bulb turns only when turning toward that side. Otherwise it is off....so if turning left, the driver side inner bulb will turn on. Looking like there is 2 lights on the driver side (corner light and xenon) and only one on the passenger side (xenon only). Note, the cornering lights only work in the adaptive headlight position (3, one click to the left)....
Thanks...I do realize how the cornering lamps work - just hadn't thought other driver's would see it as one side not working...if they see it come on they would realize its a cornering lamp..however if not I can see how they could think it's a bulb out....just to make them understand I'll start flashing my high beams into their eyes as I'm turning - that should do it The high beams on my 5 are seriously bright...some of the brightest I've ever seen

I think, as with any of this new technology, it will look totally "normal" in a few years as other cars start to incorporate these features.
My 95 Nissan Maxima had cornering lights but they were actually located on the corner and worked extremely well.

I don't really care what OTHER drivers think about how the cornering lights look, whether a bulb looks burned out or not, or anything else about this car. I also don't really care whether an oversized latte cup or a coke bottle will fit properly into the cupholders of this car, the Ultimate Driving Machine.

Only in America are we so fat dumb and happy so as to be totally preoccupied with our vanity. We really don't deserve these cars.
