Original BMW Cornering Light Control Unit with Cover for BMW 3 Series, M3, X5, X6, and Z4 (2007–2014)

On BMW 3 Series, M3, X5, X6, and Z4 models equipped with cornering lights, this Original BMW control unit runs the cornering light function. Cornering lights brighten the area toward the direction of a turn, and this small electronic unit is what switches them. BMW calls it the control unit, cornering light with cover, and it is supplied as a set that includes that cover. It weighs just 36 g (1.27 oz), is made in Germany, and has been in BMW production since May 2006.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

One part number covers a wide spread of BMW chassis from this period. BMW applies it to the E90, E92, and E93 3 Series in both their earlier and facelift forms, the E70 X5 before and after its facelift, the E71 X6, and the E89 Z4. Performance versions take the same unit as the standard cars, so an M3 owner and a 328i owner order the identical part.

Common Questions

Why do cornering light control units fail?
The unit sits underneath the headlight, where exposure to the elements can damage it over time.

Will it replace the earlier 63-11-7-295-702 unit?
Yes. BMW superseded that number with this one and rates the newer unit as retrospectively interchangeable, so it fits cars built with the earlier part.
