Question Adaptive headlights - aussies?

Do aussie cars get adaptive headlights? I am not sure if mine are working because I dont notice them move. Can you test them while stationary?

Mine does -s35i. Throws an error sometimes, typically going over a speed hump.

They only work when you put the switch on Auto and yes you can test while parked.

All sorted. They work. For future reference I tested whilst stationary turning the wheel all the way to the left in Auto light mode then I switched back to low beam (non-Auto) and the lights moved back.

The adaptive headlight lens move in both low and high beam... ANd I haven't found a switch to turn them off.
You notice them more in a car park at low speed.

They are standard on the 35i and 35is in Oz, and an option on the 23i and 30i.
The only switch I can see on Idrive is the auto high beam dimmer (which is a pain).

The only way to stop them working is to toggle your light switch into the low beam position (non-Auto).

Sounds like hard work. Set and forget seems to work ok...

i had an error on the screen yesterday while driving up from an underground carpark, ie lots of right hand turns.

The message is that my adaptive headlights aren't working anymore. So not sure if anyone else has experienced this issue.
