Hi I have just bought my first Z4 coupe and I have a question if some one could answer it, my car is fitted with Bizenon headlamps and my question is should the inner lamps light up !!
 
Welcome to the forum, you've come to the right place for answers (someone will be along soon :wink: )
 
I've not tested it on mine yet but I expect the inner lights are halogen and come on with main beam (as well as the main beam of the xenon light). The main purpose is for flashing the headlights as Xenon lights are slow to light up.

if memory serves i think the inners on the 86 are dummy lights but i may have been told that by that crazy little voice in my head. :rofl: :rofl:
 
Welcome.

I have owned my Coupe for two and a half years and never really noticed :oops: but I will check tomorrow as you have got me thinking...

Anyway, that doesn't stop you posting some pictures :poke:
 
Hi and welcome from a fellow Coupe owner OP. :thumbsup:

Sorry I can't help you with your question as my current Coupe has the Halogen candles. :( But it looks like someone will be able to give you an answer soon!

Did anyone mention photos yet? :)
 
The answer is yes the inner lamps do come on with full beam (they are halogen inners) the outer being Bi-Xenon mean that both dip and full operate with the Xenon feature...here's a picture of mine taken moments ago (anything to help) :D

Thanks for your answers but that now gives me a bit of a problem as both my inner lamps are out so that's my job for the weekend, hope it's just bulbs
 
The design for xenon's changed with the facelift and there are no inner lights - halo only, if my memory serves me right.

The inner light is just a DRL on the bi-xenon. A very faint light... On the pree facelift it was a 'flash to pass' light

Not sure that is right - OP and Jackthehat have Coupes, which only came along after the face-lift!
 
all coupes were face lift, they were made from 2006

welcome to the exclusive coupe club :) :thumbsup:
 
I concur, the inner light does not illuminate with main beam on my 08 coupe. I can't test if it comes on with the flasher though!

I'm sure the halo in my lamps only lights up on the out side lamps but I will check them when it goes a bit darker I'll take a picture, how do I post pics on the forum
 
Just gone through the lights on my car it has auto lights if you turn the switch 1 click to the left, then back to zero off 1 click to the right inner halos on 2 clicks to the right inner halos stay on and outer bizenon light up put main beam on it adjusts the angle of the bizenons, and still no inner lights for main beam, and when I turn the lamps out back to zero on the switch when I flash the lamps with the stalk only the outer lamps flash :wink:
