adaptive headlight warning

spray · 07-08-2013, 01:45 PM

Just took my car back from the dealership for the battery recall and got this warning in the evening.

It appears the driver's side isn't leveling properly but the passenger side is. Is there a way to see if the guide is blocked or anything? I've never removed the headlights or modified them in any way.

Let it sit overnight. Mine went away.

The module that controls it is busted, ordered one from a guy on the forums...hope it solves it.

^ how did you diagnose/deduce it to find out it was the module's issue?

This was happening to me yesterday but i thought i did something because ive been messing with my angel eye whose wires went bad but i checked it this morning on a wall and it reset i think its possible one of the wires on the xenon was caught or unable to move all the way but its fine now it reset itself overnight i guess

You paid the $125 diagnostic fee?

No. We weren't sure if BMW did it because it went on RIGHT after the recall. So they did the diagnostic for free. They washed the hell out of it though, so maybe the water got into it like it has for others in the past.

Is there an ability to just code this CEL out of the system?
