Light questions...
I noticed that when the headlights switch is set on auto, a little green light keep flashing...What does it mean? Also on a 2004 (4.4) aren't the headlights supposed to turn when you turn the steering wheel or is it on the 2005 only?

I don't know what the green light flashing means, but mine stays on steady in auto. Also, articulating xenon/hids were installed in late build '04's as was the pano roof, so it depends on build date as to whether or not you have articulating lights.

do you have your sticker? you might want to check. maybe the computer needs to be reprogrammed, which is what mine needed after my lights were reinstalled after being ripped off. Thye didn't move until the stealer reprogrammed the computer.

That means your active head lights aren't functioning correctly and should have them checked out. This is from my 05 manual.

I also thought pan roof wasn't added till mid 05's?

Mines May 04 and the lights go left and right as described. Maybe a programming issue or bad communication from steering to lights.

Panaroma roof here, I believe they started in December of '03.

Best of luck

The lights only turn when the switch is set to A. If you turn them on the manually, the do not turn.
