Hi all, I decided to pay particular attention to my adaptive headlights tonight. Sitting at a stop sign, I noticed that if I turn my steering wheel to the right, the headlights turn to the right. Ok, so far so good...so with the steering wheel centered, I turn the wheel to the left and notice the headlights did not move to the left. Am I missing something here? I dont know if it makes a difference with the vehicle stopped, but I found it curious that the lights did not seem to move to the left.

Anyone else experience this?
?

Is the little green light on when in the A position? And does it blink? If it blinks that indicates a fault with the adaptive headlights. Otherwise it should act as the OP indicated, turning to the right at a standstill but not the left.

How are you looking for the movement? Are the lights shining against a wall or something? When the car is stopped, even though they only move to the right, it's sometimes hard to see them move.

It's much easier to simply drive around on a dark road and watch them move in both directions as you turn the wheel left and right...
