yeah I have the same thing, this first happened last winter but fixed itself the same day but now its back on. It didn't go away this time and looks like my driver side headlight is stuck pointing up and to the left. Left it at the dealers this morning, we'll see what happens I guess. Hopefully nothing expensive or that my CPO won't cover...

Sorry guys... since my Adaptive Xenons are still pointing straight I have yet to take the car in for service. The green light is blinking and the headlights dont turn but thats ok for now. I am due for an oil change and vehicle check in 1200 miles... unfortunately thats only a couple weeks of driving for me. I will keep you updated when I have an answer.

Had mine replaced under warrenty about a year ago it was the actual headlight that they replaced I was glad also because my head light plastic was delaminating so I got a new one for free, cost was about 1700 dollars under warrenty but of course this one is clouding also now I gonna try and clean this one and see how it works out

Wishful thinking pal! Well if you have a warranty then good for you. For those who don't well. I currently have an issue with my passenger headlight. Sometimes its straight ahead. Sometimes right sometimes left. Well after spending $700 for a AFS module and reprogram from the stealership (what you will be expected to pay) The problem still wasn't fixed. The stealer said I needed a new headlight after spending the $700. So I am currently in the process of replacing when all said and done this will cost me close to 1000 to fix.
For those with this program and no warranty I recommend just take you car to the stealer and have them diagnose whats wrong with it. After they tell you, buy the part and replace it yourself and have them program. If I did the work myself my $700 bill could have been $500.
There is no cheap fix for this unless you just want to ignore it.

My light was blinking, I was afraid of getting raped by the dealer, fortunately for me the fuse that controls the module was mysteriously removed. Everything works now.

Ok... just a depressing update for you all... I had the car looked at tonight and was told that the driver's side headlight needs to be replaced. If anyone knows where I can get one for fairly cheap let me know - he is gonna keep his eye out for one as well. Lucky for me the lights are straight right now and I can just turn them on without putting them in the adaptive mode and they dont blind anyone and light my way correctly. But with that being said, I cant wait to replace it so I can update my Angel Eyes!
