Upgrading xenon headlights
I'm wondering if you can change xenon headlights without cornering lamps to ones with them, and get the low speed cornering lamps to work ????Mods:-

As yours is a HSE it’s surprising that it doesn’t have cornering lights already. Are your current lights Adaptive? Are the ones you are looking at Adaptive.

The adaptive part will not work without a new wiring loom and module, your existing none adaptive have the cornering lights already fitted, they just need bulb holders, bulbs and enabling in CCF. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Have you taken them out to examine?- there should be a push out section that not only reveals an hole but also the slots for a bulb to fit into I will try and get a photo from mine as I have already done this mod.
Edit: The center section where the bulb is should push out/in and a H8 bulb screws in, you may have to open the lamp to remove the part of the reflector that pushes out.
