headlight steering?? (BI-X)

on my SLK with Bi-xenon package, i was wondering how it work?

i thought the low beam would turn along when i turn my steering wheels right??

but i found out when i turn my steering it only turn out is Fog Light that is flashing on and off...

or am i missing something??

anyway is there a way to disable the fog light steering because to other people eyes it looks like one of my light burns out since i don't like driving with fog light on

Your car is operating correctly. I think you can disable it through Star Diagnostics at the dealership.

Double check the manual and see if it's a selectable item under the menu. Cornering lights are a great feature, consider using them.

What's with the two pics in your signature. You have two MBs available, why not picture them?

I'm not sure what you mean by "flashing on and off". The fog light on the side to which you are turning is supposed to turn on when you use the turn signal indicator, but it is not supposed to flash on and off as if it were the turn signal. It stays on until the turn signal indicator returns to neutral.

The respective side fog light also turns on when the steering is turned enough to one side or the other.

But in both cases, the fog light turning on is limited to speeds less than 25 miles per hour. So it will rarely look as if one light is burned out. It just comes on to illuminate the immediate roadway at slow speeds as you turn, or indicate a turn.
