Bi-xenon headlights

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Bi-xenon headlights are available as optional equipment in place of the standard halogen headlights. The bi-xenon light is located in the outer chamber of the bi-xenon headlight.

The "high-beam headlight on" signal activates the cover on the driving light to expose the high-beam headlight section. The high-beam headlight is also used for the headlight flasher function.

Daytime driving lights 

The daytime driving lights are LEDs. The daytime driving lights rely on components from the side lights assembly. However, the pulse width modulation is cancelled and the light-emitting diodes are supplied directly with full voltage from the vehicle voltage. This makes the daytime driving lights substantially brighter than the side lights. The light switch must be turned to "Position 0" before the daytime driving lights can be activated.

The daytime driving lights can also be activated by the automatic driving lights control when the rain-light-solar-condensation sensor indicates high-intensity ambient brightness. The light switch must be in its "AUTO Position". On national model versions with this feature, the daytime driving lights are activated when Terminal 15 is switched on. The daytime driving lights can be activated and deactivated in "Personal Profile". The daytime driving lights are switched off at "Terminal 15 off".

In the following national-market versions it is not possible to deactivate the daytime driving lights using the "Personal Profile" feature (encoded element):
