I thought I had a problem with mine due to lack of use recently (light until late here in the summer, did not have auto on engaged). What I did to check mine is find a dark road and switch on my high beams (Xenon, not halogen) and turned the wheel left and right. You should be able to see them track. IIRC you cannot get the lights to turn towards the left under low beam.

[/quote]Yes - the green light flashes if the system doesn't initialize properly... I presume it does a check to see if all the motion is ok. Mine have been fixed today (new headlamp) so hopefully the light will stop flashing!!!

One thing to keep in mind while performing any visual testing: on a left-hand drive car, the lights will not move to the left if the car is standing still...

My Ride: 2002 325i - SOLD
2006 525i - PCD in August '05
1999 CVPI - My work car
Yep.. just got home and I tested them driving about 15mph. Slowly turned the steering wheel to the right on a curve, and sure enough they went to the right. Then I did the same to the left, but on a straightaway, so I had to get all the way on the right, and quickly turn the wheels to the left, and it adapted quickly!
