I'd probably agree it's a external lamp warning of some sort...

Edited to add:

It is.....The shining headlamp with an exclamation point inside indicates a malfunction in an LED headlamp

Added a link to a useful page in the MIL Lamp help & procedure thread, very handy

The lamp is indicating a fault with the HID headlamp leveling system.

Switching that headlamps on,one side leveling device did its normal up and down movement, leveled out OK,the other side did nothing,then the dash lamp came on.
Maybe another malfunction lamp to become part of the test.

That on its own is a fail...

A headlamp levelling or cleaning device inoperative or otherwise obviously defective.
