Lately when I start the car I noticed the adaptive lights don't move side to side, and up & down. It still turns with the steering wheel when I am driving. So, is there something wrong or something going to go wrong soon? Thanks guys.

When starting the car they should only go down then up, i dont think they go side to side on start up. You should get an error code if its not functionign properly.

Not necessarily true. I didnt get any error code per se, however the green LED on the switch will flash when the adaptive feature has a malfunction when in the "Auto" setting. To the OP, are you in the auto switch setting? I assume you are because you see your lights moving when driving. This is the only time your light will initialize by going up and down etc... Mine dont "always" do it - more often than not they do but not always.

It's auto leveling. Depending on how ur headlights were turn off it self adjust. If it doesnt swivel l/r its already set..Updated softwares don't do swing left anymore due to blinding oncoming traffic. Try parking it on a uphill or downhill, shut off and it will self adjust/level again
