Bi-Xenon Headlamps with Active Curve Illumination

According to MBUSA.com, all GL63's now come with Bi-Xenon headlamps with Active Curve Illumination. On the MBUSA web page, it is stated that "Active Curve Illumination swivels the beams as you steer . . . increasing usable illumination by up to 90% . . ." Has anyone noticed that the beams swivel to better illuminate the corner into which you are turning? Is this a feature that has been disabled on U.S. cars?

It works for sure, more noticeable with the high beams on.

Awesome option and works as described. You will really notice it when you are on back roads that are not well lit, anything other than well lit city driving.

I have the option in my E350. Works great. Only works above 10mph or so though. Doesn't work at a stand still.
