Default Differences in adaptive headlight btw 05 vs 06,07.. and bulb replacement question

Hi,
I drove the 06 with adaptive headlight before and noticed that it's much more responsive compared to my 05. Is it supposed to be that way? I know in 05, the headlight only move up to 15 degree angle max. Were that changed in the later model?

On the top of second bulbs (closer to the center of the car), there are black "precipitation/condensation", is there an easy way to replace the bulbs?

thanks

Default AFAIK ther is no differenece. Can you describe in more detail "more responsive"?

Do you feel they turn farther or faster? or is it simply more noticeable on the '06 vs. the '05?

My only guess, and this is just a guess, is that perhaps there were software changes made that make the adaptive lights behave differently after '05.

Default It felt like the lights in the 06 I drove turned much faster and farther...

My 05 turn so little compared to the 06 that there were time I actually thought my car didn't have adaptive headlight.

Hmmm sounds like the '05 might be broken?
