Do our headlights turn with our steering wheel?
At night, I turned on my lights as the car was starting and I noticed the lights went up and down. against the fence in front of me. does the 02 A4 have the capibility of pointing the headlights to the right if you are taking a right corner during the night?? if not, then why would the headlights move like that? they should be mounted without movement.

when fat chicks sit in your car, the xenon must level to not blind everyone..
we do not have turning headlights. the b7 or passat does. they are like $800-1000 per side for that fancy housing.

It won't turn left or right, but there is auto-levelling to account for weight distributions...
Xenon-equipped cars are supposed to have those, so that on-coming traffic doesn't get blinded if you have a large load at the back.

Quite sure you do if your headlights do the self-check...
Does the light have a sharp cutoff? Is the colour of your low-beam light whiter than your high-beam lights and fog lights? Those are some other indicators for xenon lights.

Even the halogens have the sharp cutoff. The projector beam pattern is the same regardless of light
You'll still have the double step pattern and the sharp cutoffs, even with halogen lights. That's determined by the projectors and the little metal thing inside the projector that actually causes the cutoff.
