That's true of the US OE lights (with amber lenses), but it is *not* true of the euro clear Hella lights that are on my E39. Let's be clear: The E39 was face lifted in the 2001 MY for the US to include 'angel eyes' and the different signals. The clears offered from 1996-2000 in Europe- and indeed the ones I had for a time on mine before I updated to >'01 'halo' or 'angel eye' lights- actually DID light with dual filament bulbs.
Confused?
Thus the question to the audience of E53 Hella clear lens users.
You can actually see it here- Note the angel eyes are illuminated as the parking lights are active, but the amber bulbs are not. They do not until activated by a turn signal or hazards.
