I'm not referring to just the Audi brand...but all car manufacturers who offer Xenon headlights.

Default I'm not so sure...
I'm not sure that it is a DoT mandate as there are some Japanese cars with xenons that don't auto-level (Evo comes to mind). However it is a Euro requirement (along with the washers).

Default My car has auto-leveling
I think most german cars equipped with xenons have auto leveling. My friend's M3 has auto leveling but his old Acura CL-S did not.
