Headlight auto-leveling functionality check
Could someone explain the way of checking if the headlight auto-leveling functionality is working ? My question is because I use to have a rotate switch inside of the car and from there we can level the light´s, and we can see the movement, when we turn the switch, but now with the xenon headlights when i turned lights on i don´t see any movement, this is normal ? Thanks |

Mine does dip down and back to normal position automatically after I start the car. I wondered the exact same question with my X3. During the darker months the xenons turned on automatically and did dip.
Try driving close to a wall, turn off your engine and turn manually on the xenons (assuming here they don't light up). Then start the car and look if you can see the lights go down and back up. I guess by lowering the lights and re-leveling them when car is started, the system is checking if the leveling system is functional. The lights did dip automatically when the car was started even in my previous car (E46) with manual rotate switch and non-xenon lights. That is the only thing I can think of. What I still am wondering is what is the automatic headlight range control which to my understanding is not the same as automatic leveling. What does it do and how do you see that functioning... - p |

phuksi, I will follow your advice and I will back with news.
Concerning Your question, and as far as I now, the meaning of "automatic headlight range control" is the ability of the system to increase or decrease the range and the intensity of the headlight depending of the environment conditions. Thanks |

what phuski says does work....at close range, against anything like a wall you will see a dip...you could also just try driving toward a friend's car at night, slowly....probably they willl see the lights "dip"

Yes, that is correct. Pull up to a wall or a garage door. When you turn on the car, then turn the lights on. The Xenon's should adjust a few times up and down depending level of the surface that you are on. I did have to replace one "leveling" motor on my 2001 a couple of weeks ago. IT ran $90 from the dealer...
