Passanger Xenon Low Beam angle ??

Malcolm745 · 11-29-2008, 06:01 AM

I was very concerned when I noticed that my passangers side xenon lens is bend towards the center of the car unlike the drivers side which is in a straight line. When I start the engine and both sides start to adjust it stays the same. I mean the height is regulated they turn left and right and in the end the drivers side i pointed towards and the passangers side is still bend left.

I'll post some photos to show you guys what I mean.

So this is the drivers side as you can see the plastic fitting around the lens is perfectly matched with the plastic behind.

And this is the passangers side. The lens i clearly bend to the left and the plastic fitting doesnt cover with the plastic behind.

So is this normal? If not how can I fix this.

Thx in advance.

I'm assuming your xenons are the adaptive kind they use in the US. If they are not properly working you will get an error message. The message looks like a low beam symbol with a curved arrow above it.

I assume it would throw an error but i dunno if it just didnt loose up and be the way it is without anything wrong in the electrical parts.

I had my right headlight replaced (deer). The body shop was a certified BMW repair facilty. The first time I used the headlights after the repair, the error symbol came on. I had to get the dealer to reset the lights to sync up with the steering sensor. If your light broke, it would malfunction and throw the code. If they operate properly when lit, then I don't think you have an issue.
