Hello everyone! I am new to this site, may I say unfortunately :o

I am having a problem with my 2017 QQ J11 Tekna 1,6 dci. "Headlight system fault" appears on my dashboard when I'm turning left. The right headlight turns normally, but the left one shuts off when I turn.

I am wondering if anyone elese had the same problem and I want to know if I will have to change the whole headlight or there is a lifeline without so much expense? :(

Thank you in advance!

As far as I see it we only have technical details upto 2017 (J11A) which likely doesn't have swinging L/R lamps amongst models. Aiming is UP/DOWN only.

A dealer would use the CONSULT tool to cycle this system through its movement/sweep. Thats it really.

I didn't quite understand what you wanted to say. But my car is 2017 facelift, almost the same as 2018 so my headlights are turning l/r :?:

Not sure this is relevant , but maybe informative….the o/s headlight shins straight ahead and only the n/s headlight moves when cornering left.
