Default Do 2010 3.0T P+ xenon headlights pivot during cornering?

It doesn't say that in the brochure for the 3.0T but the 4.2 has this corner pivoting feature (15 degrees). But I suppose the xenon headlights should be the same on both cars. Any idea?

I believe that they are standard on the 4.2 and an option on the 3.0.

It appears to be the same at in my previous 06' -- pivoting and turning headlights lights--- however -- there are new side corner lights it seems -- which are very (more so thatn previous) effective on cornering-- and a nice improovement !!

by corner pivoting, do you mean the adaptive feature in which the lights turn when you turn the steering? If so, my 06 3.2 has that feature - I'd think all Xenons in the US would have them. In my car, the premium package gave it the Xenons.

Doesnt the 09 A6 have cornering light as well as adpative headlights like the A8. The cornering lights are an addition holagen light that lights up on the side you are turing into. Works much better than adaptive lights in my opinion.

Yes, I believe they do.
