Ok, I'm in the process of uploading a youtube video to show exactly what the beam does.

chrissoto312 03-19-2013 09:17 PM

Ok guys here it is. From startup to right turn to return straight. Right before the blue car passes in front, you can see the passenger beam "drop" as I turn the wheel back straight.

X5 Headlights - YouTube

Just uploaded. Give it a few minutes...

No, it's still doing the same thing. Even after I adjusted the "white knob" :(

chris, since we don't have previous point of reference, just this video after your correction of the manual adjustment - can you tell us, how much this behaviour in this video any better than what it used to be prior to your manual adjustment?

The manual adjustment didn't help any. This is basically what I have been dealing with the entire time.

i still suspect mechanical issue - could be motor itself...

to completely rule out the issue with the controller, we can try the swap of the pins - send the left signal (known good signal) to the right headlight and right signal to left headlight (known good headlight)...

Do you think you can do this? I will guide you as much as it is possible remotely, but you will be the one doing the work - so, it is your call...
