2015 CX5 Adaptive Headlights - How Do I Know They're Working Properly?

My 2015 has adaptive headlights. It's an AWD GT. I can see the headlights changing direction as I drive on a dark, winding road, but I'm not sure they're both "adapting".

Driving straight with the lights on low beam, I can see a sharp cutoff for low beam, and both headlights seem to be aligned so that the upward slope on the RHS of the beam starts at the same point on both lights. However, when I move the steering wheel off centre, it seems that the lights are aimed in somewhat different directions, because the upward sloping line on the RHS of the road is no longer aligned - one seems to move more than the other.

How do your adaptive headlights look on a dark winding road? How can you tell both are working?
