Default 2008 Audi A3 Adaptive Headlight Defective

HI,

I have an Audi A3 VIN # WAUNF78PX8A017762.

Everything works perfectly after one of my headlight HID bulb went out with its ballast. I replaced the ballast + HID bulb with new ones. THe light came on again. Everything came back to normal.

EXCEPT, on the cluster there is a warning sign "ADAPTIVE HEADLIGHT DEFECTIVE" .

I have had this light for 2 months, i decided to find out what that warning is. So, i found out that light is for cornering light goes left and right when turning. I, again, decided to check whether my headlights turn when i steer the wheel. THEY DONT TURN LEFT OR RIGHT AT ALL. PLUS, THEY DONT MOVE AT ALL WHEN I FIRST START THE ENGINE (I had my brother looked at the light when i start the engine). They didnt move anywhere as its supposed to be ( it should move up down, left, right).


SO, i am writing this to seek some help from our community I will be really appreciated if someone can feed me with TSB, Repair Suggestion, Replace Suggestion, Causation...etc I am fine with replacing any part but i need to know what is wong.


Thank you all.

I brought a new 2011 home last night. The HID headlights are very effective, but mine don't go side-to-side either. I believe it is not a USA feature and has t to be enabled by VAG-COM.
