Default Headlight Angles Down and Up Upon Startup

Hello, does anyone know why the headlights beam goes down and up upon startup of the car?

That's the self leveling function at work. I.e. If you had a lot of weight in the back of the car then if the headlights were in a fixed position they would be angling up slightly more.

pay close attention to it after completing a turn you can actually see it move back. For instance while making a right hand turn the lights will veer to the right and after you straighten out the steering wheel the lights will level straight. Drive some dark streets you will see it better. It does this so when you are cornering you have better visibility in the direction you are heading...
