Xenon Headlights

Might be a stupid question but then I am known for asking them so hoping someone can help.

I have factory Xenon's on my Ed30 and wondered is it normal that everytime I start the car the headlights do an initial adjustment?

I have factory xenons in my gti and it does the same - I think it's always supposed to do that?

Good as sadly I think it looks quite cool so happy it is not a fault

Yeah mine are the same its to do with self levelling .

Yep - they are supposed to. It's when they don't that it starts getting expensive, and you either end up blinding other cars, or seeing little (when the beams point down to the floor)!
My driver side has stopped doing it - no way of repairing it, so apparently a new headlamp needed

Don't these cars have the headlight level sensors like the Audi tt?.

one on the near side front and the other on the near side rear as these tend to snap when lowered etc.
