Pull the wheel on the side of the offending one, check the linkage arms.

Default mine don't self-level at all. I've never seen them move.
I tried everything, and for the life of me I have never even seen them budge. They're suppose to auto-test when you turn on the ignition, but nope. I'm going to point it out to the dealer next time I go...

This said, is that your license plate? It's awesome! It's my second favorite ever seen (first being "XIV KT AU")

My pops has a Lexus 430-when you turn the key the lights bob up & down before settling level.

Default Does anyones lights do the self-test as Lexus' and BMW's....
Mine don`t move a bit - there is no detectable movement in either of the lights - anybody actually notice them move?

Default it does the same thing on the Allroad... you can't miss it. On the TT, nada.
There was a post about this a couple of weeks ago where someone said that they do self-test on the TT. Never seen it, though.
