Only the side you turn it towards will actually move, not both. Honestly, if the driver side light moves when you're driving and it passes the shop scanner test, what you're describing is what happens with my AFS.

Looks like you have two issues. First off, the driver's side AFS doesn't move as much as the passenger side. This is intentional so as not to blind oncoming traffic. I don't really know how to sell if yours is not working properly, but be aware it isn't as simple as checking that both sides move equally.

Secondly, if your light is going out and then coming back on later, it's either the ballast or the bulb itself that is dying.

moreso ballast than bulb. Intermittent lighting is more often than not the ballast. May be the igniter too but typically ballast.

ok might be bad connection also on the HID

but why would it move all the way during the test if its not supposed to

im trying to figure out if it something to do with steering wheel calibration or something
