Bi-xenon lights : side light?

[capt601]

Both of the Side light bulbs on our 04 cayenne s are out, and am wondering what exactly these lights do? They are labeled "I" in the 2004 owners manual under the bi-xenon lights. and it is just below and to the outside of the main xenon lamp bulb. What turns them on and what type of bulb is it? It looks pretty easy to replace just want to get the correct bulb.

thanks!

Parking light in circle, lower corner-sensetive light, in any case you shoul see warnings in instrument cluster display.

Thanks for you response Alex, but I am still confused (It doesn't take much sometimes!)

but what would turn the parking light on (the first turn of the light switch?) , and what is lower corner-sensitive light?

Also, no warnings in the display. I have tried moving the switch to all settings and cannot get the light to come on, on either side.

thanks

Parking lights - turn switch from off to any position, or swith on turn signal with ignition key removed. Lamps (or lamp) should be on, same time with tail lights)))))))) else look for error messages.

May be go to veh.info->warnings in cluster menu. Else go to workshop(((((( Remember - all head and tail lamps has diagnosis, and if some off but no messages - chek control units, I suggest before bulb replacement. In some cases reinitializing brains solve problems.

Corner sensetive lights - lower lenses - comes brighter when you turn steerin wheel from center position on to ~5 deg. works with deep or high beams.

Hope it will help.

thanks Alex. I guess I was confused as no light came on at either side in the parking light position (tail lights do come on), and I do not have any warnings on the veh. info page. any way to check the control units, or is that a take to shop issue?
