Yes, mine does have the lamp that turns on when you make a turn, and they work.
If you have the adaptive head lights and one isn't working would the other light still pivot even though the other will not?

You can download the manual for a 4.2 here. I am not sure where to download one for the 5.0.

Yes. No steering and you have the Xenon I think they shouldn't steer. I thought it was one or the other.

As you can see from the pic the passenger side is straight on but the drivers side is cross eyed.
I've adjusted all I can with the set screws and it's still way off. That has me thinking these are adaptive headlights and the drivers side is broken.
I'm just not sure on the fix, besides buying a new assembly. Thanks for the help!!

Start here where I sorted mine out. I forgot about swapping the AFS module on the back of the lamp housing as well as swapping the lamps side to side to see if what the problem follows. basically do as much as you can to isolate where the problem is without ordering parts. You just need to think about troubleshooting logically.

Matt, I never tested the active headlamps until after I fixed the broken one, so I don't know the answer to your question. As can be seen from your picture, the car has a broken headlamp assembly. Before thinking about $1K assemblies, pull it off the car and take a look inside. As Ranchero said, there is only three bolts holding it in. The first two are on top and the third one is in the wheel well. Turn the wheels as far to the right as they will go, then look into the front of the wheel well. The third bolt is easy to see. With all three out, lift and twist the assembly (I don't remember which way) out of its bay. Unplug the wire connector and the washer hose then the assembly will come away from the car.

Question about iPhone 6s connectivity.
The car finds my phone no problem but I cannot stream pandora from my phone to my radio. I bought the 30 pin adapter to solve this issue but the music still doesn't stream to the radio? However it does try to find music in folders on my phone. Is there a way to stream music or will I have to download a bunch of songs and just have a playlist?
Thanks!

As I remember you need to have at least one itunes song on your iphone. Don't ask me why. Look up past posts and threads. It magically worked for me after I downloaded a song from itunes.

Strangely enough that actually worked! Downloaded one song to iTunes and problem solved! This car has some strange quirks! Thanks!

So iPhones are THAT proprietary that you MUST buy their stuff for the most basic functions to operate properly? That's just SAD. Good for a business model, if you can get people to actually do it.....

First off, you don't have to buy anything you just have to load a song and I think it is actually a function of the head unit anyway. My 07 XKR doesn't need an iTunes song to stream Spotify to a WMA100/Tune2Air but if I take exactly the same phone and Tune2Air to my wife's car (non Jag) I have to load an iTunes song. All the people I have seen who have reported this issue on this forum have had 5.0 litre X150's.
