Hello I hope everyone is doing good. I am a bit confused with my E28. When the car is turned off and the headlights are off. If I turn the right signal lever up the headlights go on. Is that an electrical issue or is it a feature ?
Thank you everyone

Re: Issue or feature ?
If the turn signal of a Euro car is moved past the left or right turn position and released, staying in the left or right position the corresponding rear light and headlight marker bulb illuminate. The 5W bulbs are to allow the car to be visible on the roadside while you go in and grab a beer at the local pub.
Not on US cars.

Hello Blue Shadow. Thank you for your information, yes I have the euro version but all my headlights are turning on only when the lever is kept up (right side signal). If i turn the lever down ( left side signal) nothing happens. So this must be an electrical issue I guess.

Fuses 9 & 10 control the parking lights. 9 right and 10 left.
If you dont have a spare fuse just swap them over for now and see if that changes anything.

Since it is different from the design, yes, I think it is an electrical issue.
