My Ride: Silver 530i Sports and Premum Package with Navigation. 06/04 build date.
Hi,
I noticed that my Xenons only turn to the right not to the left. Is this normal?

If you're stopped, they'll only move toward the passenger side.

yes plenty of info on this here is the basics
will only work at all if auto selected
will not move any direction when reversing (reverse selected)
will only turn to the passangers side when parked to avoid blinding other road users
and finally if there is a fault with the ystem the little green light beside the auto light switch will blink on and off
hope this helps

I have noticed that if I put headlight to auto, light turns about 15 degrees when I make left turn and about 5 degrees when I make right turn.. I believe this is all normal for other cars too. I have seen with Lexus RX330 also doing samething.

[/quote]OK, Hormazd, so the Xenon's will turn left if you have the sports package, but not the premium package, correct?

I don't think that is right...? You can have adaptive Xenons without the Sport package.? We just have premium package & xenon package & we have adaptive headlights.

[/quote]OK I checked the 04 brochure. I stand corrected. In order for your lights to turn you need the Xenon Adaptive Headlight option. This is available on any model but appears to be standard on 545s.
