Coded Variable Light distribution - how to tell difference

I recently used Bimmercode to code variable light distribution by setting the following
C_AFS_ENA: F020_enable and F030_enable
and
LUT_FLC_FORWARDLIGHTING_Y: F020_mit_AFS and F030_mit_AFS.

I have the lighting package on my car already so I have swiveling HID's. But I am not able to tell a big difference in normal night street driving. I guess the street lights here are all LED and are "white'er then HIDs so it is hard to see if the headlights are aiming higher when i speed up. I do notice that the headlights seem to have more movement when I start the car or when I put on the highbeam while parked but not while driving. Any ideas on how to better see the difference? or if I forgot to code something please let me know.

F22 do not have fully dynamic LEDs so changes will not be as apparent.

The side to side movement of the lights as speed increases is a little more obvious to see compared to the height. You should be able to see the driver's side light swivel when you shift between park, drive, and reverse.

Besides the movement when stopped you will see the drivers light move toward the center when you hit about 30 mph or so. When you slow down it will move back toward the left. I think BMW calls this 'town light'. The supposed change in elevation I haven't noticed but the change in movement when you are driving slow is very apparent.

Is it possible to adjust the speed at which various VLD behavior happens? For example, I'd like it to kick to "highway" mode at ~60mph rather than 68mph. Are there settings for this somewhere in the tables? I have no idea what to search for, because it's all German and somewhat abbreviated/fractured.
