Active headlamps

Should you be able to see the headlamps turn with the steering wheel while the lights in the auto position and the car in park?

Thanks but I did search the forums prior and what is discussed at length is the cornering light functionality and which vehicles have them. What I never did actually see is if the adaptive headlights, which swivel with the turn of the steering wheel, moves while the car is stationary, in the park position. I am asking this because I had issues with my brand new ML 350 and adaptive headlamps were inoperative. It took 3 weeks to figure out the problem. However, while in the driveway i had the car in park, the lights in Auto, and was turning the wheel left and right but did not see the bi-xenons swivel at all with the turning of the wheel. I am wondering if the dealership just got fed up with the time it was taking and just disabled the error message somehow but never corrected the problem hoping that I would never be able to notice.
