Question Turning light option

My 2005 w211 should have the cornering light feature. But I am not sure if it is working . I turned the steering wheel to its maximum left and right but I could not see the light turning. I drove the car and took some turns but it is hard to tell. Any clue?

If I recall correctly....the cornering lights came in 2006 models for the E55's

IT SHOULD BE NOTICEABLE AT NIGHT TIME, EVEN GOING LIKE 25MPH & YOU JERK THE WHEEL SLIGHTY SIDE TO SIDE YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHTS ACTUALLY LEADING THE CAR, IT'S QUITE PRONOUNCED ON MY CAR, JUST REMEMBER THAT THE LIGHTS DO NOT DO IT TO THE FULL EXTENT YOUR WHEEL TURNS, MORE LIKE 25% AND THEN STOPS WHILE YOUR STERRING WHEEL KEEPS GOING. I DONT NOTICE IT WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK.

Do you have headlight washers? If yes, you should have the Xenons with cornering. If not, you don't. If you've got them and you want to see if they're working, take a cloverleaf offramp or onramp at high speed at night. You'll see the lights bend into the corner.

My 05 has it and the production date was 9/2004. It's really noticeable night time.

You can't stand at a still and shine them on a garage to see, though. It is very noticeable, even at 25mph.
My '05 had them. I was hoping the '06 would have the aiming fog lights.

Sorry about that guys...guess I was wrong about the 05's not having the adaptive cornering lights
