E90 LCI xenon headlight adaptation gone bad

GTATX · 08-28-2014, 10:35 PM

Hi,

I have searched a lot and can't find answer but here is my issue. The headlight adaptation which makes the light go down and back up is messing up. My left headlight the light goes down but barely comes up and is kind of stuck there. It still adapts to the turn but the up and down setting is messed up. I tried adjusting it manually but it wouldn't work as well. It's a considerable drop as the left headlight range is may be 7 feet for hood now. I don't know if it's the ballast or actual headlight assembly.

Any ideas please let me know. Thx

There's a plastic connecting rod that does the movement maybe this has come out of its socket

check the level sensor rod on one of your left front control arms
