Headlight question

bmw335inj · 05-05-2011, 11:41 PM

Just got my new 2011 335i and when I got home and noticed that the headlights turned off as soon as I turned off the car. I checked the headlight switch it was set to automatic. Is there a way to keep the headlights on for 30 seconds or so? My Honda does it..

after you turn the car off you can pull back on the turn signal stalk as if you were flashing your high beams. this will activate "pathway lighting" for a certain length of time that you can set in your car settings.

If you have idrive go to settings and lights and you will be able to set the time the lights stay on. When you turn off the car...pull the high beam stalk towards you to activate them.
