Xenon auto leveling working?

[bnw]

How can I tell if the auto leveling Xenon lights are working properly on my 02 3.0i manual trans? They "roll up" when turned on, but don't seem to change with the front/rear body roll when shifting. Also, I have auto headlights, but I can't detect if they go left/right when turning. Should they, or is this another option added on to the Xenon lamps?

IIRC, the adaptive HLs were introduced in 04+ models. So, I don't believe your xenons are supposed to go left/right.

On the auto-level I'm not sure how to check them. Maybe try by stopping on a fairly severe incline/decline and look to see if they adjust. Use a driveway or a ramp to simulate those conditions.

I never tested this on my own X. Now you got me curious.
