@shadonoz it isnt at startup, they seem jittery side to side when I am moving at slow speed (pulling back into the garage / parking structure), I only see it against the wall (not when im actually driving).
For example I take a right turn into the garage and the right light jitters back and forth as I am turning (Im not bouncing the wheel back and forth), but there is also a bump, so it could be leveling and turning at the same time and it just isnt a smooth operation bc down the road it wouldnt be noticed (it can only be seen on the wall)
It is at low speed.
Does this help?
Please see my original post...
Yep, it's normal. I have a CX-9, but I also have the adaptive headlights, and they behave the same way. It's not "jittery", it just appears that way because the lights will sweep left or right a certain amount, then stop, depending on steering input. For example, let's say I'm making a left-hand u-turn from a stop. At certain increments during the beginning of the turn, the lights will sweep left a few degrees, stop, and then sweep and stop again.
The adaptive headlights on my previous car were much smoother, but it was a Lexus after all.
EDIT: Just re-read your last post. How significant is the "back and forth jitter"? Does it do the back and forth motion if you approach slowly to soften the bump from the driveway entry? Almost all adaptive/auto-leveling/AFS headlights are going to have a bit of a "flicker" effect when going over bumps/road imperfections because they have more moving parts. If the "back and forth" motion is minor, it's probably normal. If it's more significant, it could be a bad sensor or something. Get someone to take a video of it happening at night and take it to the dealer to be sure.
