Shadow in the left headlight

Post by Ross Miller » Sun Nov 04, 2018 6:06 pm

Hi everyone, I’ve had my Z4M for almost 2 months now and as the nights are getting longer I’ve noticed this odd shadow (see attached) and driving at night it takes up the entire left headlight on full beam. Any ideas what could cause this?

Silly question I know but have you checked the bulb is fitted correctly?

yea installed new bulbs yesterday. My dad said it could be a left/right adjustment made to accommodate European driving and just not reset. Fingers crossed

Yeh that looks like the eu lever being down to me, just flick it back up, hopefully it's not broken. They're only flimsy things

yea having turned it all the way left there’s still a shadow, it’s smaller but it’s still there. I’m guessing at one point it went too far in one direction and is now stuck. Thanks for the replies anyway
