Thread: No turning lights in D4 bi-xenons

Do you mean turn indicators (blinkers/flashers)?

Do you mean adaptive lights? Not all xenons are adaptive.

Sorry, they are called cornerning lights. They are lit when the blinker is on and perhaps some other conditions such as only up to a specific speed. They are used to see right or left as appropriate when about to turn into a driveway etc and can be useful in the bush. They are located within the headlight assembly and below the blinker.
They are not related to adaptive headlights that follow the direction of travel.

Graeme, if it's the same as the D3 as far as I'm aware, the static cornering lights are only available with the 'bright package' and/or active headlights

Specs says std for D4 SE. SE has bi-xenons, puddle lights, footwell lights and fog lights which IIRC made-up the D3 bright pack.

In the D3, the cornering lights are only available with the adaptive bi-xenon headlights, not the std bi-xenons. It requires the adaptive xenon loom, which is one of the headaches involved in upgrading the bi-xenons to an adaptive set.

So is the D4 fitted with the adaptive loom?

Cheers,

Gordon

I have no way of knowing if the adaptive loom is fitted or not, although there seems to be a lot more wires than necessary.

The latest 4x4 Australia D3/D4 comparison article also lists the cornering lights as standard for the SE. The report says My Disco 3 SE came with optional bi-xenon lights, but they're now standard on the SE and they incorporate cornering beams. The new beams were noticeably broader than the Disco 3's, even when driving straight ahead. The author must be referring to the cornering beams due to the final phrase.

Is it possible that the halogen high beam alignment issue with a few vehicles (incl mine) is related and that the headlight assemblies are for another market that requires excessively low-set dipped beams and that market also misses out on the cornering lamps?

Cornering lights were only available with the adaptive units.
Again as the D3 was launched the info in the brochure was incorrect.
Having just read the brochure again i can see what you are saying Graeme.
But i think again the D4 will be without the cornering lights unless you get the adaptive units which incorporate this globe/wiring & a different harness to it.

HTH.
