Cornering lights
I have been searching for a CLK w209 model for a while now, and i just found out that a few have cornering lights but not all. So which years 03-present, have cornering lights installed and also is it available on the 320 or only 500 and AMG packages? Is it possible to install them? Thanks

Cornering lights turn along with your steering wheel and pivot the headlights to follow the twists and turns in the road ahead. This greatly improves illumination of the road in front of the vehicle and to the sides, making it easier for the driver to anticipate the course of the road ahead.

Cornering lights are the FOGs that light up (One Side) when the car is turned Left/Right


You are talking about ACTIVE HEADLIGHTS that BOTH Turn when turning left/Right..Active Headlights are also Xenon as well

when you signal left, the left foglight illuminates the left area infront of the vehicle on the pavement (vice versa with the right) thus giving you more illumination to see what you are about to turn into..ie potholes, unmarked curbs.

turning right = right foglamp ---ON ---left foglamp off
turning left = left foglamp --- ON --- right foglamp off

going straight = Both Foglamps --- on/off

.its made for the lazy drivers that dont look ahead before they turn left or right..
