doesnt look like they are working properly

mine move alot more

try taking a video from a little further back and dont turn on ur foglights, try it in adaptive and regular mode, and try this when it is a little darker outside

also in adaptive headlight mod do the lights turn to the right when u turn ur wheels to the right?

my lights move alot when u turn on HID highbeams (up/down) and if u steer the vehicle (left/right)

my daytime running lights(lowbeams) also move up and down when i start the vehicle

This will only work as a test if his lights are also 'adaptive'. If they are only 'bi-Xenon', he will only get the mirror flip, not the adjustable left/right of the lights with the steering wheel.

Up to 04/04, E53's were only bi-xenon. Not adaptive xenon.

kk i think ur right

No worries. This screen cap shows the adaptive LED (green) in the lower left corner at the switch. He very likely has adaptive xenons. But that still has little to do with the light pattern from the mirrors on the lenses.

i actually modified my factory xenons on '02 4.6 to be bi-xenon... there is an excellent write up about it - i got the Audi projectors and swapped the BMW ones... both made by Hella, same hardware, mounting points... in my modified case, my "opened-wide" xenons were complimented by regular highbeams.

i am not so sure, but i believe in the programming of the car, where you delete the mutual exclusivity of the fogs and the high, you can also have halogen highbeams supplement the bi-xenons... why? well, maybe some people need it to reassure that the function works...

from the video it seems that the fogs are aimed too high, they cut into the xenon light footprint...

Allright you seem like your a heard headed person and clearly it's your way or no ones.
The picture where the head light seem as its brighter it's cause I turned the car on that time for the first time that day and it take a believe over a minute for the lights to fully come on meaning when you turn your headlights on for the first time there always very blueish.

And I do have the adaptive headlights.

And I had them Aligned a few days ago as well at the BMW dealer maybe that's what's caused to go out. Either way tho I finally had the time to take it to the dealer and the mechaninc came out and looked at it and it wasent working. So there gonna run a diagnosis. Either way thanks for your Answers and smartass comments.
