Hi,

My drivers side Xenon looks to be sitting a bit high on dipped beam, i.e. with lights on an stood infront of the car the drivers side is noticably brighter/higher than the passenger side. This is also noticable as I get 2 distinct light pattern edges visible? Any ideas, the lights are adaptive & dipped/full works fine, just sits high when dipped? They do the funky dance when turned on, but I notice the drivers side tips up straight after the 'dance'? Had occasionaly flashes from folk, but seems to be getting worse?

Any help appreciated.

You should be able to adjust the height of the beam. There are 2 adjusters on top of each headlamp, one for horizontal and one for vertical adjustment (can't remember which is which, I'm afraid).

It's a hexagon bit needed (allen key) from memory something around 6mm?
Put your car about 15 feet away from a wall and try turning each adjuster until you see the beam move.

You could always take it to an MOT station for them to adjust for you of course. That way it'll be perfectly adjusted.

It could also be that your lamp is sticking if the full beam are both identically level. I'm in the shed, I'll be back in the real world in a minute.

Appreciate the help mate! Now managed to adjust it much lower to match the passenger side and on a flat road it's now not pointing off to infinity, blinding other poor soles on the road! Thanks a lot!

Just as a note for others, adjustment near the grille end of the headlight appears to adjust height, good job as I could barely reach the other hex & you're right 6mm. 2010 TDV8...
