WTH? IS RAM DOING? CONFUSING AS ALL GET OUT... I have a 2019 Laramie and kept it. I bought a 2022 Limited. I thought it would have everything the Laramie did and a lot more. It has a lot but in my experience with many other car mfg there are about 3 or 4 trim levels. Once you get there the options are fulfilled at the top of the line. In this case Limited.... However my 2019 RAM had cornering lights. My 2022 Limited does not. I have tried everything there is to try and the are not there. I have adaptive headlights, automatic dim/bright and they work great. The adaptive part is a bunch of BS. The cornering lights were awesome in my Laramie. I have RamBox and multifunction tailgate which is great. Just don't understand how you can leave something as basic as cornering lights off of a limited. From what I can tell, you can get damn near anything on any RAM? So the trim levels are meaningless. Other than grills and Badging they are all interchangeable for the most part. It is the most confusing vehicle out there....

Sorry I can't help much, but that does seem strange. My 2021 Bighorn has the cornering lights, which surprised me since I'd never had them on any vehicle before.

24 Laramie has cornering lights.

 

[Flynight]

My 22 Larmie has cornering lights.

Is there another name for cornering lights ?

It is not a term that i have heard before

 

[bobmugge]

strange as can be. Nope cornering lights are what they are called. Strange how they have abandoned that feature or it is not available on the Limited....

'20 Laramie has cornering lights. I like them. First I ever had them was when wife owned an '08 Land Rover. Those lights actually turned when you were making a turn.

 

[Ramsteen23]

I believe they are called "Adaptive Front Lights"...my 23 1500 Limited has them. I can turn them on and off under the Vehicle Settings tab on the Uconnect, see pic below.

This is listed on the Ram site under Safety and Security:

ADAPTIVE FORWARD LIGHTING​

Light up the jobsite, day or night. The 2023 Ram Chassis Cab can be equipped with available Adaptive Headlamps featuring crisp, bright LED lighting. These powerful headlamps will light up the road ahead and can turn up to 15 degrees to help illuminate unforeseen obstacles

I'm assuming they were also also available on the 22 Limiteds...check your Uconnect settings.

It has been my understanding that only the projector headlights have the ability to "corner" . Are your headlights projector?

 

[Stavinksi]

My 22 the fog light will illuminate on the turning side if the main lights are on and the fog lamps are off when turning. If fog lights on already, nothing hapoens

 

[markabby]

my 2020 Ram Limited has them, but, i THINK they only work when the HI beams are on. I never really paid much attention until now....i gotta go out and try them.

Every 2019+ 5th gen Ram 1500 that is equipped with fog lights has the cornering lamp feature.

 

[bobmugge]

I have adaptive. different thing........

Welcome to the Ram Forum!!! My 19 has them, probably another option you have to pay for, I have the LED projector on mine also, you don't need the Hi beams on, they are the fog lights that illuminate.

 

[Docwagon1776]

Some posters seem confused. The OP isn't talking about the ability of the headlights to swing the beam as you turn.

He's talking about where if you turn left, a separate light (fog light, typically) comes on to illuminate next to your vehicle on the left hand side.

OP, my PW has them, but they only work below a certain speed. Unless you got some weird COVID build you should have them.

DITTO, how they R programmed on RAMS< I have 19 Bighorn. Early built DT truck, part of the 1st group built in 2018.

Yes, I looked up my build sheet to be sure and it does list my truck as having the BI-FUNCTION LED PROJECTOR HEADLAMPS.

That being said, it sounds like what I have is not the same as what the OP is describing as "Cornering Lights". Now I'm curious, so will have to pay close attention to my lighting when cornering next time. I do know that I like the headlamps and foglamps on my truck as they throw off plenty of light without needing to use the highbeams.

My 2022 3500 Limited has what you refer to as cornering lights.
