Headlight autoleveling

So I changed my Xenon low beams today using the perferred method as posted on this forum. I put everything back exactly as it came out. The only difference is that I installed Xenon bulbs D2C bulbs rather than the D2S bulbs and the new ones are in 6000K color.

But I noticed today when the lights pop on, they come on correctly but I see them self adjusting for height. Like, they come on and right away I see the beams raise up a bit. I guess they are adjusting themselves? I've owned this X5 for a little over one month now and this is the first time I think I actually seen the lights level adjust.

Did I do something wrong or maybe moved some connections enough that they are making contact now and actually working? Otherwise, they are fine. Will try them tonight when it's really dark outside.

But you should always preheat the skillet before you add the meat.
