BMW Headlight Controls 

Just purchased my 5 series 2 days ago and this literally helped me out so much. I was sitting in my driveway for like 20 minutes trying to figure out how to turn my headlights off

🤯 ahhh man this guy literally saved me a trip to the service shop. I legit thought my fog light as out until he explained about it illuminates as you turn the wheel. Thxs my guy

First time BMW driver here and this video has explained what BMW support couldn’t. Spent the first 10 days with my car convinced my low-beams were faulty because indicator on the instrument panel was never highlighted. Blows my mind that someone decided that the best indicator for low-beams being active was the icon for the sidelights!?! Also, Could anyone explain why my low-beams are active regardless of the switch being in the OFF, ON or Automatic position?

This car got passed down to me, so thank you for explaining it, I had no clue.

thanks for the demonstration. is there a way to turn off lights completely ? I'm conscious of battery life

the relief and clarification concerning the turning fog light tip saved me a trip to the dealer THANK YOU

This may help people if troubleshooting lights some day. I needed to see what the Rear View Mirror Light Sensor Was doing with the high beams. If bright daylight out and you want to see high beams when signal stalk is pushed forward High Beams wont click in. Throw a sweat shirt (when parked) over windshield blocking light from back of rear view mirror area fooling it to think it is dark out. High Beams should come on. Remove sweat shirt they will go out thinking it is bright out. I did not test DRL and Low beams but they should work similarly with mirror sensor as well.

I have 2016 135i (f20) does it only have the one button for front and back fog lights? I had a 130i (e81) that had one for front and one for back lights

Excellent demo

Great video. thank you for this. I have a question. My BMW e46 n46b20, the light won't turn on when I switched to Auto but it's on when I turned to low beam logo. Do you know the problem? Thanks

Thank you so much this really helped I was wondering why the lights for the doors wasn’t on but it was bc they where to low💯

Fantastic video, glad I stumbled upon it.

I’m not able to fully shut off all of my lights. Even during the day. Any idea why ? Thank you

Why don't euro cars put the light switches on the steering wheel stalk? Regulatory requirement?

thanks. Helpful.

Can I run my parking lights during the day while driving without draining the battery? I like those setting because I want my taillights to be on during the day.

Do the instrument panel lights come on at night automatically or at all if the light switch is on 0 daytime running lights?

Is this in a BMW 330e just for the fog lights

Can i leave the automatic headlight setting on at all times and if i turn off the car eill my battery be affected?

Cheers! Most helpful indeed!

hello, i just got a 2013 bmw x1 and I pushed the dial in and now it’s stuck is this normal? it still turns to the right or left

So that green light at 2:40 is just a low beam indicator? Thats normal to be turned on when driving i guess? It said parking lights, so i was confused why its on...

Do I have to physically turn the fog lights on each time or will they come on automatically

question: I havve a 5 series 2012, and I have low beam and high beam in the outer two headlights, and only "angel eyes" on the inner headlights. On my previous 3 series, and other bmws i've seen, the inner headlights are highbeams. I'm confused, is something wrong with my 5 series?

My lights control won’t turn off. Why?? Help??

How to adjust fog lights pls

Why when I.put my lights automatically after the car won't start?? I don't know whats the problem I buy new battery and all what she nedd to be changed i did still the car won't start once they lights are in auto? 🙄

I went to get my car registered at the dmv and they told me my headlights were not on when I had them on automatic though they could see the “angel eyes” clearly on, which are the automatic headlights according to the manufacturer. Is there something I’m missing or is there a possibility he was just screwing with me?

Hi

My husband just got upset at me because I set the lights to auto 🤦🏻‍♀️😆 he said they came on when he turned the car (he was in the garage which is why they came on in auto). He won’t admit I’m right to leave them on auto. Exhausting

My lights come on, on auto even in the day. Smh
