Headlight levelling - silly question

Post by scoop » Mon Oct 08, 2007 9:24 pm

Hi - I've just picked up an 06 3.0si Sport and the headlights auto level (even though there is also an adjuster knob). Thought this was only for xenons. No mention of this in the manual, so just thought I'd ask. As I said - probably a very silly question...

Hmmm no idea 'cos mine had Xenons, so it levelled and had the manual adjust too.

Any body know where the adjustment screw/knob is on the HID lights, my left one is just a little lower than I would like it. It always feels that I am out driving the left light at night time on the highway. :driving:

Mine also auto adjust, just like the one's on BMW's MINI Cooper. There was an adjustment screw on the MINI so you could adjust the lights where you wanted them. The auto adjust does not undo what the manual adjustment does. I would have thought someone here has messed with them and would know how to adjust them.
