Yes but those are nowhere near as bright as the headlights so I find them useful only at low speeds to illuminate curbs and low objects near the car.
That is the video I posted just upthread. I see no evidence in that video that the headlight beams move with the steering. Note that the LED headlights are very bright and wide. But they appear fixed to me. I could be wrong, of course. I was not at the event. But I would think that if the LED headlights "steered" around corners that would have been noticed by at least one of the hundreds of people who got X test rides, and the Tesla drivers would have mentioned it!

My former 2013 Audi S6 had full LED, but they did not swivel
It really bothered me, especially on back roads with limited lighting
I guess it's not as easy to make LEDs swivel as Xenons
Perhaps having a few headlight bulbs dedicated for corner lighting would be nice
And X might even have those in the top row or in the inner edge of the housing , who knows...

Interesting. What I see is that just before the car stops moving, the driver may have turned the wheels slightly to the right and the innermost right headlight LED turns off. I see no indication that the lit LEDs pivot, but if they did it would be only slightly because the wheels have barely moved, and it probably would not be noticeable in video taken during the day.

Uh, maybe not. Looking through the recent gallery posted by Mark Templeton, Founder #3 owner, I found this gem. Looks like Xenon after all...

It does. And a parcel shelf. After posting I realized it must be that they didn't have an X specific window sticker available yet and this is an S sticker. ;-)

Yeah, that's a Model S P90D dealer sticker that they only modified by putting "Model X" at the top, plus a bit about LATCH in 2nd and 3rd rows. The rest of it shows Model S options like the rear-facing seats, and "Premium Interior Lighting" (on there twice). I think they kind of cobbled that dealer sticker together for the launch event and it's not a definitive resource on Model X features.
UPDATE: you beat me to it.

The Dutch website Model X | Tesla Motors Nederland says that the headlights are completely made out of LED's. "Koplampen geheel van LED" which translates into: "headlights entirely made of LED's" (Thank you gjunky, i do not know why i did not translate it myself this way :smile

Trifecta: Solar and both cars are EVs
Headlights entirely (made) out of LEDs is the literal translation.
Good to know. They look different head on next to the Model S

Yes and that is how they are described on the Model X configuration page for the Premium Upgrade package option. Likely just about now Bonnie trying them out for the first time and I look forward to her report on how the headlights work going around curves and corners.

Gone! Saw it but did not know how to save it to disk. HTML5 video of three engineers (two in plaid shirts) demonstrating their side project. Three MX’s face a small audience in a dark room. The lights go out and the cars are illuminted in silhoutte by red backlighting. Trans Siberian Orchestra Wizards in Winter begins playing over speakers. Headlights, driving, fog, and turning lights all start flashing in time with the music. Think synchronized house Christmas lights but with cars (2009 - Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Wizards in Winter - YouTube ). About half way through the performance the falcon wings open and then flap (yes, really flap). The falcons stay up and the front doors slowly open, close, and slowly flap. In the final cadences doors are moving and lights are flashing and the audience is cheering.

MX on the left is Blue, two on the right are White. (who’s might they be?)
