Auto-leveling Xenons stuck - BMW Forum

Gulelin · 03-20-2004, 10:35 AM

I took my 330XI in for suspension work the other day, and the next time I drove at night I noticed my xenons leveled far too low.....they light the way like 20 feet ahead of me and thats it. I haven't called they dealer about it yet since it's Saturday, but I was wondering if this was common and if there was a way I could sort of 'reset' them. They do still move, they just don't come up to the level they should. Any ideas?

If I were you, I'd just take it into the dealer. I wouldn't tinker around with anything on my BMW like I did on my Accord.

I wasn't thinking of tinkering with the mechanics or anything, I don't think it's a *mechanical* problem if i had to make a guess. I'm guessing there is a program that controls the way the lights behave and i'm wondering if there is a way to "reboot" it with some weird process(like the setting the key fob thing=). I'm just guessing though.

I just had front end work done (2 axle shafts) yesterday. Same thing happened to me, lights point down. I'm digging in now, hope to have an answer soon

the front level sensor was probably unplugged or damaged. on right side control arm
