Recently, I noticed that the headlight (xenon) up/down feature (self leveling) during start of the car not seem working. Headlight beam did not go up & down, it just stayed at one level. Any suggestion what to look for ?

If it has an issue the light should be blinking. Mine has been blinking for about a year. Troubleshooting has been a headache and I gave up.
If yours is not blinking then it doesn't see an issue with the modules.

Not sure. But on mine, if I have the headlights "ON" vs "AUTO", they don't steer with the front wheels. Otherwise, they do the up/down when starting, then side-side.
