07 m45 turning headlights

Is it just me or only the RIGHT headlights turn when steering? Aren't both supposed to work?

I believe that only one side should move, i.e. when turning the wheel to the right, the right side moves right, when turning to the left, the left side moves left. This is so that you are still illuminating light directly in front of the car as well. I could be wrong, thoughCheers

The left headlights don't move at all. Is this normal? Any service techs out there?

Finally figured it out!!! Did some research where it stated in the owner's manuel, "The left adaptive headlight will only steer to the left at speeds above 16mph". But the right ones will steer at any speed. At a technical standpoint, I'm wondering why?

Maybe it has something to do with oncoming traffic? a safey issue?

A lot of people making a left turn will c*** their wheel to the left (very dangerouos if you are hit from behind as you will be driven into oncoming traffic), so not moving the left lens in a drive on the right country.

Bet it is opposite on the drive on the left models.
