Adjusting Headlights via Coding...

Has anyone adjusted the headlights via coding after lowering their X5?
I have done a bunch of coding, just havent found any info on this yet.

Thanks,
John

I don't think it's something that can be coded via something like NCSExpert. I think you'd have to use the service tools in DIS. I used DIS to lower the rear air suspension on mine, but didn't see much in the way of headlight aiming.

Edit: all that said, I don't feel like my headlights are too low.

Any coding for the rear suspension?

If I use the links from my H&R kit, does any coding need to be done to the rear suspension, or is it only the headlight coding that is nedded?

My INDIE is trying to charge me for coding the rear suspension...

Thanks...

If you use the rear links that came with the springs, you don't need to code the car.

If you don't WANT to use the links, an option is for you to set the height BY coding the car.

Your headlights do not require coding. There are set screws on the headlight itself, but I do not know where exactly..

Headlight Coding?

Can anyone confirm the coding/or manual adjustment for the headlights after lowering. If I can do the work myself, I hate to pay even my Indie for it...

Thanks in advance

Coding was needed. Not adjustable otherwise, I believe.
