headlight alignment

HaiDef · 02-28-2011, 07:55 AM

When I first bought the car, the headlights were both not perfectly straight and didnt bother me too much. Since then, I have had both headlights replaced due to condensation and a short because of the condensation. Anyways, point being my headlights are way off.

A co worker of mine said the passenger is so much higher then the driver side. I went home and tried to google it and found a forum with someone saying that it shold be normal since the driver side blinds on coming traffic.

Since then, i have observed all cars, 3 series, porches, SL, other Z4 and all of there lights look to be dead on sqaure.

any one else have lights that are not aligning up or is this an issue and the dealer should fix this for me? The driver side points down while the passenger side points straight.

I have same thing. Passenger side is higher than driver side, i think it is normal.

If this is true, this is as retarded as motorcycle headlights. Everytime I ride my motorcyle everyone thinks my headlight is out.

So only our projectors blinds drivers but not 3, 5, 7 series drivers

Same with my Z4. Wife's '04 325ci does not do this, though

I appreciate eveyrones feedback. I'm about go to in for my inspection one and won't have to raise hell for thinking they installed my headlights wrong.

In Japan we get inspected and our lights have to be perfect but they only check the hi-beams...
