Bi-Xenon Lighting Package - Active Cuve Illumination?

So my car has the bi-xenon lighting package. The window sticker says it has Active curve illumination but I don't notice anything "Active" what exactly is this supposed to do? And how do you activate it. Thanks in advance!

Also, how do you tell the difference in the bi-xenons and the regular lamps? My paperwork says bi-xenons, just want to make sure thats what I have.

Active curve illumination turns the foglights on or off when you go around a corner. If you are turning left the left foglight will come on and turn back off when you are straight again. There are some different things that determine when they work and they are listed in your manual. Nothing is actually moving.

I think the easiest way to know you have bi-xenon is if they self level when you start the car and they turn on. The housing is different as well. I just got the lighting package on my 2010 and I am still trying to figure out what everything does.

On 2012 models, the projectors will angle into the side you are turning.
