Question F10 520d - Coming Home Lights not working

Hi All, my manual and F10 threads say you need to pull back headlight stalk for 2 sec's to enable coming home lights once you have stopped the car and turned off engine.

Tried this, and just does not work for me.

I have no optional light related add-ons, just bog-standard and wonder if this should still work for me, and if so, how?

Appreciate your advice, thanks

(PS: 'Welcome lights' work 100%)

Have you set the amount of time they must be on in Idrive ?
Dont think they come on if time is set to 0

Go to "Settings" then "Lighting" then "Pathway light" and set the time

Thanks E90Fleet. my iDrive does not have that setting option. I can only set time for welcome lights (when opening car).

My manual does say I can click the button with the diamond shape on remote fob... had tried it before, nothing.... but last night tried it with two successive clicks and BINGO, that worked 100%..... and stayed for the same time as my welcome lights.

But I would still like to get the normal way to work, i.e. holding back the flash stalk for 2 sec's, oh well
