If your problem is just with the adaptive headlights not turning... it could be something as simple as a stepper motor. I know there is a test plan in there for them that will move each light around up, down, left, right. If I remember right, you could also try moving them around through component activation in control module functions. (telling you how/what to check is SO much easier since you have a GT1 )

Thats exactly the info. I needed! Sometimes I'm a little hesitant to ask you stuff ... I don't want to abuse the privilege.

Thanks again ... thread hi-jack over!

Wow this is a great post (not referring directly to weasel's sado-masochistic side...but whatever turns him on is between him and the midget). I didn't know that the green light would flash when there was a fault in the system. Nothing in the manual about it...how the hell does BMW expect us to know? Very cool info.

BTW (hijack alert) weasel... I always wondered, what is this all about? (Paragraph in lower right corner of page)

If you're talking about the part adjusting the sensitivity of the sensor, then - yes, the dealer can adjust it. Adjust the HLs to come on sooner (in lighter conditions) or later (darker conditions).

Didn't know that. It's not in the car/key memory stuff is it? Do you know what the range of adjustment is?

Not sure where its at. I'd have to dig some for location and range.

The amount of work that I've requested from you is piling up isn't it? You really should consider getting an assistant, or two.

FYI: LKM codes are stored in the Dash Memory. It took my dealer 4 days to work that out when my LKM needed changed!!
