You have your HBA (High Beam Assist) on. Turn it off and watch the video on this link

Your LED lights should be doing what you see on the video.

If you have the adaptive option all you need to do is have your lights switched to Automatic on the dial and then press the Active button on the stalk below the trip computer button. It will only work at night. I don't think you have HBA and Adaptive in the same package. Adaptive supercedes HBA.

it appears you have tourist solution enabled. it dips the driver's side headlight to avoid blinding traffic when driving on alternate side of the road. when you have a lhd vehicle but use it in a rhd country. disable that feature and your lights should work as designed for your region.



the easiest way to tell how it functions is if you park in front of a wall and enable and disable the feature. you will see the beam pattern change.

why do you have them on all the time? fog lights are for fog and inclement weather not daily driving.
