Question about the f3x Lights

Is the inner light housing only for decoration, because no beam comes out of mine. Only the angel around it

Space is questionable, but there's no socket or bracket. These headlights are extremely expensive so I'd be careful experimenting.

Ok thanks for the warning, I will just not give into my curiosity further.

I'd expect more, actually.

True.

I'm almost certain that the F30 LCI will see LED headlights as an option.

Hopefully this means Xenon's will be standard ... it's about time, BMW.

Lol man OP, you love asking questions about your car thinking something is wrong with it.

While I've never met you personally, you seem like a guy who maybe worries too much.

It is, it's just funny the sheer number of threads he starts with questions. It sucks that he's in Jamaica though since not many members here are from that area so it's hard to give him definitive answers since most of us are US Spec.

And good to see another EBII F30 owner around the area. Don't see many of the EBII's around.

Just me, but whenever I make a Large Purchase such as this (actually with any purchase) I always love to find out the most information I can about it.

And the forums here have been extremely helpful, because there is really no help here in Jamaica (First AW GC on the Road here).

Not so much worrying, more about knowledge. I can't learn if I don't ask questions, It really surprised me that the Inner Bulb had nothing in it, because with my experience with my Tiguan's Xenon's the Inner is the Flasher, so just found it a bit weird for the BMW. So I ask and gain knowledge.
