thank you how do i know which they are
Regarding 'automatic' headlamps. the Book has this to say:-
The bi-function HID headlamps and the AFS headlamps use a projector unit with a D1S xenon bulb which operates in both
low and high beam. An additional halogen high beam only reflector is located on the inboard side of the headlamp.
Headlamp leveling is automatic on the HID headlamps. Front and rear height sensors are located on the Left Hand (LH)
side of the front and rear axles. These measure the vehicle attitude and a headlamp leveling module, which is located on
the bulkhead 'A' pillar behind the glovebox, automatically controls the headlamp vertical alignment.
(my emboldening)
AFS is Adaptive Front lighting System and is only available on certain models (presumably HSE) and ONLY controls the VERTICAL alignment, not Left-to-Right (or Driver-to-Passenger in US parlance).
This is maybe the confusion.
Since the vehicle is Right Hand Drive, I believe you would need to obtain some 'masking' stickers to put on the headlamps.
Something like :-

Hope this helps.
