low beam lights LED

Yesterday while driving in night on highway I noticed that lot of cars from opposite direction blinked to me with high beams like they are warning me to lower my lights. I had my normal lights on ( I have led lights ) . Car was fully loaded, 5 person and full trunk. I think that my low beam was a little too high. Anyone noticed that on his X1? Light beam should level itself, automaticaly, right?

Also, sometimes on local roads I notice cars from opposite direction blinking me to lower my light. But I can not do it because it is automatic.

I must admit that in night and rainy conditions I struggle to see lines on road with these low beam led lights, they seem to be too bright in rain conditions. Anyone else?

Mine are fine, never had an issue. You can manually adjust them down under the bonnet I think. Maybe see how high they are against a wall compared to another car?

Yep. Just google which one as think 2 similar close together. Did same on my old M135i when they were low. It?s a 2 min job & iirc 6 or 8mm hex key.
