Bouncing Xenons

I've never had Xenons before so please forgive the ignorance. Is it typical for the Xenons to constantly be bouncing up and down (tiny amounts) as you are driving along a road? I notice this a lot because of the distinct light edge that the Xenons produce. I assumed the auto-leveling would prevent this. It's like they are shaking up and down as the car dips up and down.

To some degree it is normal, all my cars with Xenons did that; auto-level does not prevent it.

Your lights should not bounce at all. However, in a stiffly suspended car like the Cayman, as the car reacts to changes in the road surface, the entire carmoves more abruptly than a softer riding car. Because of the very sharp (& bright) horizontal cutoff in xenons, those abrupt up & down car movementsmay appear to be bouncing lights when in reality its the entire car that's moving. In more softly suspendedcars w/xenons,like my A6, the movements are still present, but far less pronounced.

Dan's answer is the same conclusion I came to.
