When I start the engine the headlights rise and then sink down again.
Just wondered if this is normal. The levelling arms on the suspension appear to be intact.
My dipped beam does appear to be too low.
Could someone please confirm, or not, that this is normal behaviour for the auto system.
Thanks.

 

Its normal, but if theyre too low you have to manually adjust them them to correct height. This manual setting it what the units level too, not some other setting.

 

Brutal,

What's the adjustment procedure?

My levelling is operating OK but the left hand dipped beam is set far too high.

+1 3G's request for the procedure please my right beam is too low.

cheers,

Unless Brutal comes back and says otherwise, adjustment looks to be a simple procedure using a hex wrench:

This next one gives a slightly better view of the adjustment screw:

Thanks G;

Does anyone know the answer to this question??

Do you know if this adjustment hex screw works for both the hi and low beams?

Because the hex screw looks like it is on the hi beam barrel only.

Great tip in the HID-PDF that you must have the car running to properly do this.

cheers,

jj

 

I have the same problem. Replaced the battery and now my headlights are in the down position. how do I re-program them?

 

Is this on your 2000 XKR?

I didn't think self-levelling HID's were available for that MY.

I used this thumbwheel for individual headlight levelling.
