How do you activate BMW high beam assist?

What’s the best way to activate the BMW high beam assist function? I was driving around last night, and couldn’t find the controls for it.

Activating your BMW’s high beam assist is easy—but it can be tricky to figure out for the first time. Here’s what you’ll need to do to activate your BMW’s high beam assist:
  • Make sure the lights are in auto mode.
  • Press the button on the end of the left stalk.
  • When the system turns on, you should see the green indicator lamp on your dashboard light up.
  • Once the high beam assist turns on, you’ll see the **blue indicator lamp on your dashboard light up.
Using your high beam assist is a great way to stay safe while driving at night. It can help you keep a safe distance between yourself and other drivers while making sure your visibility is as good as possible. Plus, your high beams will automatically switch off for oncoming drivers so they can stay safe as well.
While it’s best to take preventative safety measures while driving, you should also make sure you have the coverage you need with
