where to adjustment the xenon aiming angle?

erichui · 02-28-2011, 05:47 AM

Hi guys, I know that the xenon's are automatically adjusted when driving, but I think it should also have another control to adjust if it is not properly aimed (aimed too high/too low)

do you guys know where about is the adjustment screws or control?

also it seems like my auto level adjustment mechanism is not working anymore.. since I can now only see about 1 car length in front of me with the low beam.... which definitely wasn't the case before.... (when I start the car, I can see the bulb move a little bit, and it sounds like something is stuck when I opened the bonnet to listen to it.

I booked in my car to be looked at on Wednesday..

1 more thing, I have changed the angel eye light bulb to an LED aftermarket ones, (there are no error code or anything) would there be any chance that it could be caused by that? (I have been using it for 3 months and didn't notice any issue with it until last night.) Should I bother changing it back to the original bulb just in case? thanks.

Yes, change it to the stock bulb (for warranty issues) and have the the mechanic at the dealer take a look at it.

There's a huge hex looking plastic screw head. When you open the hood about three inches in from eah headlight. I did it to my headlights and I made an excuse up to have the dealer double check them and they were good how I had left them.
