Xenon question . how many degree turn?

wuli · 09-13-2006, 10:22 PM

I have question for my Xenon on my 330i.

How can you test your Xenon is working properly?

When You turn the steering wheel to right, how many degree you will see in your Xenon?
And when turn to left, how many degree you will see in your Xenon?

Please help me to test my Xenon....

I know that lexuse's lights turn 15 degrees each direction.

If you are standing still and turning the wheel the lights won't turn too much because you might blind oncoming traffic, but when you are driving you will see that they turn more...plus you should put the lights under "AUTO" or else they won't work.

I don't think this is true. They don't turn if you're stopped, but they had no problem turning for me in the "on" position.

actually, they only turn right if you're stopped. Prevents you from blinding oncoming traffic when parking or something.

Yea you know that is what I meant, I got to check again with the "on" position.

canucklion · 09-14-2006, 07:59 AM

they're not suppose to turn with the "on" position, only turns with the auto

I recall reading something on the forum about this recently. Not the degrees involved, but that it turns to the right more, but doesn't turn too much to the left (less noticeable than the right), and this is probably to avoid blinding oncoming traffic (on the left).

My xenons go 360 degrees.

canucklion · 09-14-2006, 11:59 AM
