Question Does the inside headlights ever light up?

Hi all,

Kinda new to my M3 - I notice the outside Xenons light up and they use those for high beams too, during the daytime / daytime driving lights are only the coronal rings. When do the headlights beside the Xenons come on? I don't think there's a fog button on my LCM. I can see a bulb inside the headlights that are closer to the grill but can't figure out how to activate them.

Thanks.

If you have an E92 or E93 they do and would be considered "cornering lights" they turn on when you reverse, take a corner at low speeds and also when you engage your blinker at low speeds as well.

^ what this guy said, plus when you engage the reverse gear, both of them light up.

Oh that's cool, thanks - gotta check that out. No way of manually turning them on though right?

Your right, they are not Xenons, I can see the bulb if you look right into it from the front - it looks like the H8 bulb I took out for the Coronal Rings.
