Thats interesting, but the cornering lights on my 2018 X1 are incorporated in the LED headlights, with a small, but effective, additional reflector on the inner corner of each light unit. The (halogen) fog lights don’t come on at all. In fact, I’ve hardly used them anytime. Perhaps the current updated cars LED fog lights are much better.
