Headlight switch
4 positions: Off - Auto - Corner (headlights off) - On
If I had turned on my headlights using the 4th option (explicit on), how do u turn them off after parking the car at night without causing the xenons to go off, then back on, then off?
Basically the 3rd position "Corner/Park" turns the headlights off, while the auto position turns them back on (i really hate this feature).. and then finally back off. It causes unnecessary flicking of the xenons.

lol but it still works, the op could use his headlights without having to go all the way to 'on'
hell i dunno, i've only had my car for about 4 days, i didn't even know the second position was 'auto' i thought the lights were auto-on no matter what
time for me to RTFM

Wait so if you make the sensitivty lower as in less bars the lights will turn on more often? I have it set to the highest thinking that they would turn on more often picking up more light changes. But mine basically never turn on except when its really dark. I can be driving in pouring rain and its really dark and they dont turn on... i hate that

I know this is stupid to ask but.. what did the manual have to say? Did it give any more info on how to set up this feature? I'd help you out more but I don't have this car lol. I'm actually getting an '08 550i

Dimming instrument lights with headlights ON or OFF
I notice that in daylight with the headlights off, dimming the instrument lights to the miniuim does not allow the lights to go completely off.
At night with headlights on, dimming the instrument lights allows them to go completely off. This seems backwards to me.

Just turn the car off and the lights will go off. (It sounds like you are finished driving.) Then, if you want, turn the light switch to off.
