Cornering Bi-Xenons
Has anybody actually tested the cornering feature of the Bi-xenons? I had the car in D and faced the car towards my garage wall while turning the steering wheel in both directions. The headlights never moved. Is there a better way to test this?

I did the same thing when I first picked up the car. I could not see it move in the garage. However on a dark road while driving you can definitely see the light shift from side to side. Makes me wonder if it is speed dependant.

I have researched this subject sooooooo much. Try doing a search on active headlights??
Your headlights activate at approximately 10kph, they will NOT track left and right whilst your vehicle is stationary.

On well lighted roadways in town or the city it I feel it does little to help you....
Very cool
