    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 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.

    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?

    • @TeamBimmer
      @TeamBimmer  2 роки тому +1

      I think it’s more of a common European market feature that just carried over to the US. If you leave the turn signal stock in the upward/downward position a corresponding set of lights illuminate on the side of the vehicle. Usually used to assist in making the vehicle more easily visible in a narrow, poorly lit city street

Is there something I’m missing or is there a possibility he was just screwing with me?

    • @TeamBimmer
      @TeamBimmer  Рік тому

      DMV is likely checking that your headlamps are fully operational. The 'angel eyes' are daytime running lights that turn on when the light sensor recognizes that is bright enough outside to not require the headlights on. To override this in the daytime you'll want to manually turn on the headlights, switching them out of automatic
