Reggie: Very good question and if true OEM HID fittings were retrofitted, I would think - yes!!.
But anything is possible for third party fittings, so I'm not sure!!
Setting the software switches to HID, makes the BCM correctly support AFS (Advanced Front-lighting System, or FLA (Main beam assist) in OEM installations. But, I'm not aware that 3rd party headlight fittings have these facilities (albeit, some fittings may have these capabilities).
As I said previously, the more pertinent question is how the Leuchte-sets for the lamps are programmed. And more importantly, how the cross-wiring looms that are sometimes used in the retrofitted headlights change the operation of these Leuchte-sets. Cross wiring looms have the effect of changing the pin assignments on the BCM and Leuchte-sets are specific to these pin assignments.
I've played with many 3rd party headlight assemblies and the only truth is that they are ALL different!!

Thanks for the explanation. I was thinking more about the voltage/wattage being sent to the headlights and not the adaptive lighting and other settings that you mentioned.
