However the other day while driving I noticed that the O/S inner light was illuminated in the reflection of my lights on the car in front of me while waiting in traffic, after a few seconds the light went out (while still stationary)

Does anybody know what these lights are for? Is there something wrong with my lights?

That's exactly what adaptive headlights do - the inner light comes on to assist cornering. If you have your headlamps switched to auto and you're stationary, indicate left or right and the appropriate cornering assist light will come on. At speeds up to about 15mph it will also come on with steering lock, as well as the main headlamp reflectors turning.
