If the lights rotated left too far, they would be blinding oncoming traffic with the higher light pattern that was meant for the right shoulder. My previous 3 cars, (with xenon) behaved exactly the same. Of course, this is all mirror imaged on right hand drive cars.
I never noticed this with my Xenons, I guess because they weren't as bright and "pointy" as LED's. Can this be disabled via coding or is this a hardware limitation where the steering wheel decouples itself from headlight rotation mechanism? For someone who would be driving a lot in narrow dark roads, I think this would be extremely valuable.
