By the look of it you have bi xenon's. The A on the bulb symbol on the light switch is the auto lights position. Switch it here and your lights will come on and off automatically. I leave mine in this position permanently. If you have adaptive lights like me the inner light only come on when you turn sharply as if turning into a driveway off the road. When you straighten the steering the light will then go out. The idea is it illuminates the area you are turning into.
Also when your lights first come on they should point down then up then level out, this is them self leveling. If they are not they are not working properly.
This could be down to a broken arm of the level sensor (sometimes the arm just detaches itself) or a dodgy level sensor. There are two of these, one on the back suspension arm and one on the front suspension arm.

Also you can see in the bumper you have headlight washers, you always have these with xenons, and they must work for the MOT. They usually just work when the lights are switched on then will only work again after a certain number of uses of the windscreen washers. They wont wash with every use of the windscreen washers.

You know if you have adaptive headlights as when they are switched on they will move left and right as you rotate the steering wheel. They can also auto dip when a car drives towards you.

Hope this helps.
