Xenons

[Rushil]

Hey guys

I need some help please....be warned this is going to sound like a stupid question.

I have xenons on my 135i...but I can only get my outer bulbs on. For the life of me I can't figure out how to get the inner lights on!

Any suggestions????

IIRC the inner lights are you high beam

+1

Flash the "brights"

 

[Rushil]

Excuse my ignorance...are those brights? They don't come on when I put the high beam on....the primary light just gets brighter

LOL the inner lights are your brights yes, Im sure we have all gotten them confused:rollsmile:

 

[zaleonardz]

did you turn your ignition on when you did the tests ?

 

[UpNcOmiNg!]

Uh no, the inner lights don't do anything.
They are merely there to make things look nice and symmetric.
The outer lights operate both low and high beam.

 

[Rushil]

Yeah ignition was on when I tested...I'm so confused haha

I have a 135 bro.
Inner lights do nothing. Nada. Jack. Zilch.

Ya you right dude even my F21 dont have beams in only indicators. WOW

On my 330 the inners are the high beams but the outter xenons also get brighter, but on the M3 the inners only work when turning (adaptive lights)

Correct.
They also, depending on the options the vehicle has, turn on as 'corner lights' at slow speeds.

The car has bi-Xenons, i.e. one Xenon bulb with 2 settings for dims/brights.

As far as I'm aware the inner bulb you see is for your angel eye rings.

Solved thanks guys
Seems a bit silly to me! On another topic...would love some better sound! Got the standard sound!

 

[sash]

wonder what was the thinking behind the design of the lights...

Theres some threads on upgrading sound, if you dont find it you can start another thread on it.

Ok so nobody actually gave the correct answer here...

They are called passing lights, basically to flash people out of the way!

Pull the stalk to flash - push to enable high beam (Xenon High)

uhhhh, no.
Pulling it does the same thing as pushing it :bangdesk: Just pulling it doesn't permanently engage the high beam. Gawsh.
