Dazzling lights

Just arrived home and my lights are stuck in the up position , realised when everyone was flashing me for dazzling them

Any ideas what has broke before I ring the dealer in the morning ?

Did you upgrade your lights? (LUX, etc) I ask because sometimes people stuff those little boxes back incorrect and they get in the way.

+1, there is a pretty big danger is those are placed in the wrong spot, or if the velcro hasn't held and allowed them to move about.

No lights are standard , and no warning on the dash at all , they just don't auto level anymore and are too high while driving

Thanks for the replies !

Seems like a headlight malfunctioning. Go see the doctor (dealership).
