Bi Xenon Cornering Headlights
I took a picture of the Bi-Xenon's showing how the cornering lights are set up.

I dont think that's corvering light. From my inderstanding cornering light refers to one of the fog lights turning on.
As far as adaptive light that's the lens that rotates, which is in right part of the headlight.
Not quite sure what you are pointing at in the picture.
There is a good link in this forum to detailed specs which shows what headlight made of:

Hello All,
I'm looking at the GLK and went to the dealership last night to look specifically the Bi-Xenon lights. The light that actually moves is the outer light. (Left roundish one in the OP's original picture).
When you start the car, it will run a check and move the lights left and right and then finally rest center.
I didn't check the fog lights though...

That's adaptive lighting which illuminates road better when you drive aound the bends. As you said in this case the lens acrally moves depending on the steering input. The lenses also adjust up and down depending on car load.
Coner lighting works at slow speeds when you are making a turn into driver and such. In this case left/right fog light comes on when you put blinker on or make slow turn.

Yah, my BMW had self-levelling Xenon's. That is so you don't blind oncoming traffic.
BMW's headlights turn. But if these are not cornering lights, wahat are they. The bulb points inwards towards the centre of the car, and then is reflected back outwards. I can't see what this does other than light up beside you.
You sure this is not their version of cornering lights.
My car is in Halifax, should be here in two weeks.
