Low beam headlight height solution

Took the SDrive35is to ... Sytner's.

Less than 15 minutes later, the Xenons were tested & adjusted to 'legal + a bit'. I tested them in the dark tonight on M, A & B roads. Can see much better. 5+ cars ahead.

But nobody, even on undulating country roads, flashed me.

I got the same problem , do your headlights do the self level when you switch them on ? , mine dont

Tempted just to attack the adjusters to get around it

Although the workshop's one of these glass-walled places with attached Reception (and a hairdresser's :dizzy: ), I couldn't see what they did.

Yes, they self-level (on the Auto - click left on the light switch - setting).
