Yes, everything still works 100% The cornering lights are completely separate to the projector lenses you put the HID bulb in.

After trying some sets from ebay (which didn't work, or needed resitor/relay, or gave "dimlight error")
I finally found these which work clean with only the ballast and hid lights, (55 watt/4300K)

If I use the van every day the dim light can be set on "automatic". (accu is at good voltage)

turning light left is on and the mist lights , color HID is 4300k is bright white

I have done a few hundred miles since fitting the kit and the ballast have stayed in place. I drilled a hole then used a self tapper with spring washer to hold them in place and the other end rests on the top of the light unit. The one fixing works ok and it can all be fitted to the light off the van then reconnect the light wiring plug and refit light.
As you can see from the photos they stay clean and dry.
Hope this will help others .

For cornering, these worked for me if you have 5000K Xenons.

Didn't break so far, cheap anyways buy some spares. It takes a month to reach you from China, in case you are first timer on Ebay.

Judging by all the other posts and comments about these, I doubt it very much!
