Adaptive Headlamp warning light?

Anyone have this? What are the symptoms/causes.
Thanks

I actually recently got the warning light.

In my case, my right headlight is no longer "adaptive" in the respect that it no longer moves (auto balancing, or following the road). I'm not exactly sure what the problem is but I noticed that there was some condensation on the inside of the headlight cover so I'm guessing that somehow water got in last time it rained and it caused some kind of electrical short.

I am going to take it to the dealer when i get a chance and see what they have to say.

Sometimes a malfunction, or hitting a large bump can cause it to turn itself straight down and not move until the dealer fixes it.
