Never heard of this light facility before but then I am not that up on modern cars.
had a look at a Skoda Octavia estate yesterday. Asked if it had headlamps that turned with steering in corners. It didn't but the fog light did illuminate on the side the car was turning to. Obviously a low speed and proper amount of steering being applied like turning into a sidestreet. Is that something you have seen on the "My Naff Code Reader" (?) menu you can enable?
car was a german import and then Spanish registered.

The cornering light is the fog light :y
The main headlight won’t do anything, it’s the fog lights that come on when a certain amount of steering wheel lock is applied when turning into junctions.
Eg. Indicating slowing down, when you get to ~20mph it would turn on as you turn.
I never saw any option for this on main headlight. :)
Hope that helps :)
-
My misunderstanding. Thought it was a neat feature
-
Standard fitment on Volvo fh trucks.
-
It’s on wifeys captur. Neither use nor ornament.

Step daughter used to have an 11plate Seat Ibiza which had this,first time I saw it in action I thought it was a fault with the fog lamps :D ;D ;D

My 2008 Mundano has this. :y

Depends on the age Skoda; my Superb has steering headlights - that is, the headlight beams themselves steer left & right (and up & down, obviously, for self levelling). Non steering headlight models use the 'cornering lights' and wink at you..

It is a poverty spec ambition model with a few extras ;)

;D Winky car, then!

I guess it must depend on the model, but SWMBO's '16 plate Yeti has both the swivelly headlights and the cornering fogs.

Ah, maybe mine winks too.. but I've never been in front of it to find out :) The swivelly headlights are barely noticable from inside the car and the fogs definitely aren't (IMHO, anyway, YMMV etc)
-
Nope, same experience. Winking is only apparent from outside the car.
The only time I notice the swivelly lights is on startup, in the dark. They obviously go through some sort of self-check routine. The beams go in,out then up,down before settling at level.
-
SWMBO has an 08 Mundano with the headlights that turn with the steering. It does look strange when starting up in the dark as they go through their routine.

The Shaguar certainly has headlights that move left/right. Like Vauxhall, I think they call it "Adaptive Headlights".
Additionally the Shaguar has LEDs in the side of the headlight unit for low speed cornering, which works far better than the VAG foglight method, due to the way they are aimed. Not that the current XJ has foglighs. Not even an option. Hats off to the designer for having the balls to leave the tw*t lights off the spec :y
