Xenon headlights - adaptive aim sticking

The terms lamps and bulbs are interchangeable, but lights generally means the whole assembly. A terminological misunderstanding - easily done, easily fixed!

 

Yes, all that was replaced was the bulbs. It is quite common to have to re-align the lights when a Xenon bulb is changed.

 

I will try switching off the AFS function and see what happens.

Coming home in fog tonight I experienced exactly the same as @nickcoll and came onto the forum to try and see if it was a new fault. In short I think it is working as it’s supposed to. I.e. On high beam speed approx 40 MPH the offside beam was aiming well off to the right, then going through some twists the dynamic mode was superimposed over this. I stopped on the edge of the village and took a photo with the high beam on/car stationary, then 2 more in front of the garage door on high and low beam. Reviewing the photos tonight the alignment looks fine (my garage wall and gate not so much!) to me. 
The car on the hill was parked, I wasn’t blinding anyone!

In my case it is a much greater divergence than yours. I will try to take a photo of it next time it is foggy and it is playing up. Last night the beam was absolutely fine, though.

 

I have tried to locate in the infotainment system how to turn off the AFS as suggested elsewhere but despite a thorough search I cannot locate that function. All that I am able to do is change the mode of the AFS at three levels of responsiveness in the drive mode function
