Cornering headlights...

I have the lighting pkg on my CLS. I have not been able to "see" the beam actually turn when the car turns. Is cornering supposed to happen only at certain speeds, or should it happen even when the car is stataionary and the steering wheel is turned? And do I understand correctly that the moving lights are actually the small ones under the grill and not the main headlights? Assuming that there's no malfunction, why isn't the movement noticeable?
Thanks in advance.

Don't have the car yet so my .02 may be wortless, but imho you probably will see very little movement in the lights for illuminating a curve. If like other Xenons the beam is very wide to begin with.
that the moving lights are actually the small ones under the grill and not the main headlights?
You may be talking about the cornering foglights. I believe they illuminate one at a time depending on which way you turn.

cornering

Cornering at slow speeds (under 30) you can see the side you are turning toward light up.

Does the light switch have to be at a certain position? Mine is set to auto.
Thanks.

YES, you can...it is a variable setting in the CGW...you need stardiagnose to change that setting though.
