Headlights - BMW E60 Manual

Headlights

The Adaptive Headlight (AHL) function is available as an option. It is offered in combination
with the Bi-xenon headlights. This feature allows the low beam headlamps to swivel around
the vertical axis. This means that the headlights can illuminate the curve of the road more
effectively when negotiating bends.
Adaptive Headlights improve night-time visibility by continual adjustment of headlight aim to
suit the curvature of the road. Illumination of the curve of the road allows the driver to fol-
low its course more easily instead of having to drive into a "black hole." Dynamic headlamp
aim adjustment improves peripheral awareness and reduces the risk of accidents.

The headlamp reflectors are framed by fiber-optic ring lights. The side light function is
effected by the two reflectors. Above the direction indicators is a PCB with 6 LEDs and a
fiber-optic tube to perform the side marker light function (not separately replaceable). The
direction indicator function is performed by a 21W long-life bulb.
For parking lights, a 5W bulb supplies the fiber-optic ring light and
produces a hot spot in the lower part of the reflector.
The low beam headlight function is performed by an H7 long-life
bulb in each of the outer reflectors.
The high beam headlight function is performed by an H7 long-life
bulb in each of the inner reflectors.
The flash to pass simply uses the high beam light only.
