Default Adaptive headlight issues help

Ok so I had both my head lights replaced because some genius decided to change lanes without looking and backed into me. They replaced them with hella headlights now my adaptive dissent works period. No self test, coner lights all they do is turn on. But I'm not getting any error messages any ideas on what's going on? Your input is appreciated
The part # is Hella 1 ZS 169 009-15AA
& 16AA Respectively.

A quick google search with that part number returned a pic of non adaptive xenons. Can you post a pic of the new lights?

Definitely xenon non adaptive. Time to go yell at the insurance company to fix the car. Non adaptive were never sold on any US models.

The inner lens on adaptive lci headlights are frosted, not that fake lens what you have there (it is fake - shine a light on it and you'll see).

Also you will have lost the cornering light functionality since they don't exist on lci non adaptive xenons
