GTi/GTD Auto Lights (Bi-Xenon)

The xenon lights will  follow the way your steering also, there designed to turn into the bend your steering into

Quick question,
when my Xenon headlights turn on, they auto-test by moving up and down, but when they are in the down position they also go sideways, are those the static cornering lights doing a test also? 

Nope, these would be the dynamic cornering lights, which is just the headlight unit swivelling the projector housing for when you go around bends at speed. The static cornering lights are standard H7 halogens, you'll get them on when reversing, or tight cornering at low speed. Just turn your wheel slightly when parked with lights on to see them in action.

So we do get dynamic cornering lights in the UK?

Certainly do, called dynamic light bending or something, best results when set to sport in individual driving mode!

Nope, Golfs fitted with Xenons have static cornering lights too!

Oops! Meant fogs as static cornering...

Indeed, when in sport mode, the light turn more aggressively. In fact in some situations it seems that they are spring-wired with the steering wheel.
