Those are known as puddle lamps, and they are not supposed to light up when you turn the wheel, only when you unlock the car.
Some XFs came with "cornering lamps", extra H1 bulbs in the headlights which point sideways and turn on when your headlights are on and you turn the wheel. Turn left and the LHS one turns on, turn right and the RHS one turns on.
Different lights completely to the puddle lamps.

Maybe it was the front corning lights and it looked like the mirror lights was the source. Does it still work when locking and locking the doors?

If that was the case, then something was wrong. Now it is correct.
