Is it just the box that can jam the adaptive lightning? Not the cables? The connection cable with the LUX is big and can move around. Not sure where the adaptive lightning mechanism is. It's hard to see in the crowded space...

Avoid the LUX resistor and cables/wires from getting jammed into the leveler (damaging the headlamp).
Interesting comments not featuring in the current thread:
yemski:
"I created this diagram to help others see where to place the resistor/power supply box that comes with LUX angels eyes. I rested it along the bottom edge of the headlight cover, aligned as shown by the red box in the diagram. Then I tested extensively at night and had no adaptive headlight errors and saw the adaptive headlights moving in both directions freely."

"The placement of the box in the passenger side is very similar to the driver's side. The only different is the plastic post will be above the ballast instead of below."

"A little word of wisdom, double tape or velcro the LUX ballast to the back of the headlight casing to avoid an unpleasant Adaptive Headlight failure surprise!!! Mine failed and I was able to swap the bulbs back to stock before taking it in to the dealer for a free under warranty replacement. However, to avoid any dealers refusing to take it under warranty and paying 1500K for a single adaptive Xenon housing replacement take my advice! ;-)"

"Just with adaptive headlights you have to secure the small ballast with some double-side tape else it can interfere with the movement."

"Just zip tied the wires and seated it well out of the way of the adaptive headlights."

VO 1M:
"There is an other option. Stick the ballast on the back of the H8 plug. The case will hold it against it, no where to go for the ballast.
The wiring you can push down on the inside (kidney side) of the headlight unit. There is enough space."
