Tech is different in various types of lamps. From Pre-LCI NGHB Guide:

"adaptive Xenon headlights fitted by BMW on US cars lack the required movable mask (or walze in German) needed for the dynamic shadowing and thus are physically incapable of supporting GFHB. By contrast, BMW adaptive LED headlights achieve the dynamic shadowing by pixel light and thus do not require the presence of the walze."

VLD = Low beams & cornering Lights
NGHB = high beams
