Does the xenon adaptive headlight turn to left?

csupernova · 10-31-2007, 12:03 AM

I parked my car and tested my adaptive headlight. It turns with the steering but only when I steer to right. The headlight doesn't turn to the left with the steering. Is this normal?

Thanks for any advice.

Been posted a bunch.

To avoid blinding people, you cannot turn to the left when stopped. Others have said that you have to be going 15mph for it to work.

The lights themselves you mean, right? Because the turn lights (Inner bulbs) do come on when turning left at low speed.

ALso - the left does not turn the entire 15 degrees that the right does while driving.

I tried it out on my garage wall and they seem to turn left a very tiny amount. They turn right by quite a bit however.

Cornering lamps only come on for a substantial turn.

They turn way more to the left when you're moving than when you're stopped. It's easy to see on the highway.
