Hi folks, probably this is a silly question and somebody will tell me I do not even know my car.
Well, I just bought a 2006 pre-owned RRS 2700 TDV6 HSE.
I made some light modifications which will shortly be available in the gallery (when everything is completely fixed).

I noticed that when I put the indicator on and I am approaching to a sharp bend, apparently the inner part of the bend seems to be more illuminated, as if there was an additional light.

It seems to me that this occurred on both sides, but not at every speed .. e.g. when I do it very slow, I do not notice this phenomenon?

What's that?
Does an additional light turn on? If positive, where is it located?
Or do the lights turn themseves along with the steering wheel? (Do you call them adaptive lights? I do not think I have them...)

Since I do not know the options of my car, is there a chance to find them now, starting from the VIN of the car?

In my other car (Audi) there is a list of codes on the leeflet was handed to me when I bought it and every code stands for an option.
I do not have anything similar in the RRS.

Apologise if this topic was already faced, in this case just give me the link and I will study..

Mate, using VIN you can get everything about your car of the system at any dealer. Do not mind my asking, but how did you buy the car when you did not know what you are getting?

And what you are describing are adaptive headlights. They turn the xenon itself and additionally switch an cornering light on when the indicator is on or you are turning over a predetmined angle below a certain speed.

Hope that this helps

Yep, the adaptive lights add a cornering lamp into the cluster which activates at speeds below 22mph - they only work whilst indicating

ciao Gianluca,

non credo tu abbia i fari adattivi,peraltro non previsti sul sei cilindri.
si tratta semplicemente di una lanpada ,non xenon che si attiva a tempo
quando inserisci l'indicatore di direzione sotto i 40 km/h, superati
i quali la centalina esclude che tu stia svoltando ma che invece stai sorpassando
pertanto non accende niente.

cia'

Try this tonight...find a dark place..

Park your car facing a wall (not too near),
Turn your light switch to the 'Auto' position,
Now start your engine...and look at the wall...

You will see the "Initialisation Procedure" of the 'Adaptive Front Lighting System', which in the old days we used to call the 'dancing lights'!  Malaysia Boleh!

Aren't 'Adaptive lights' only fitted on S/C's and later models i.e the headlights which move with the steering wheel?

It sounds to me like he is referring to the sidelight which comes on at lower speeds when indicating?

I'm probably away to make an ass of myself here but when I bought my RRS (still to pick it up) I asked if it had xenon and the guy said no but it DID have cornering lights. Now i know I have the clear view pack on it so does that mean i've xenon, active xenon or what on my one as youve got me wondering now?

Cheers

Are the corning lights an optional extra or standard on HSE's with HID's?

Does RRS come without xenons at all???

Having checked the specs the cornering lamps are included as long as you have xenons... in the UK, you have Xenons as long as you have an SE or above. The lowly S still gets halogens as standard

Seems you do not need the adaptives to get the cornering lamps
