ILS headlights
Hello
I had the ILS code inoperative. I therefore changed the 2 front headlights as well as the modules with original elements
Vin WDD2040031A419796
A friend reactivated everything with a stardiag
but I do not have the impression that my headlights follow the bends.
Do headlights have to move left and right if I switch them on?

He should be able to test the left/right movement with star. If something is wrong, you should see an error code on the dash.

Lenses work well and move left and right using star. But when driving by night they don’t move
No dash error

From a diagnostic perspective, this means that the sensor or the unit that triggers the lights to move is not working. Very weird that this is not throwing an error code.
I would advise you check all the connectors and sensors.

Are you certain that the lights are not moving while driving. ...the effect is subtle enough and may be happening unknown to you!!
