Weird behavior middle lights.

Hi guys, I was parked in front of a shop to get some fried rice (the missus is a month overseas) when I noticed a weird behavior of the 2 middle front lights in the windows of the shop. When I go in reverse, the right middle light goes on, and if I put the auto in drive, the left light switches on. I also saw it mirrored in a car in front of me when I stopped for a traffic light, but when I came home and pulled the handbrake and left it in drive and had another look, they where both off?? Any ideas?
Its a 2010 E91 with
S522A Xenon Light

S524A Adaptive Headlights

that's really weird indeed.

have you attempted to code the FRM or change any light behavior, or is it still stock?

I haven't done anything myself, but the car is imported from Japan as many cars here in NZ. Some code must have been done, because I don't get the warning in CCC when starting up. I found a copy of the Bentley manual online and will have a read about that module. Otherwise I always can place some dummy bulbs in the head light.

Those are the cornering lights and the behavior seems normal. They only work with the headlights in adaptive mode as far as I know.

ah ok, I saw another video where the fog lights where used as corner lights. That confused me. Maybe they do it differently per country then.
