This is for the E53 but it may be similar. http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...nt-thread.html

thank you. I found 2 adjustment screws but they don't seem to be working for vertical adjustment. I gave them a 1/2 turn with no results. Either I didn't turn it enough or the 2 I tried are the wrong screws.

mine is '01 4.4i, my originals weren't far seeing as I have to step on my brakes whenever I confront oncoming vehicles...even cars!
Got a xenon 8000k H1 (if i'm correct)but after fixing, i am faring no better.
How can i adjust DIY?
Thanks.

My passenger side is much higher than the driver. They both move up & down when I start the car so I know the system works but how do I lower the passenger side?

The headlights on my 2012 X5 are aimed a little too low. Has anyone figured out how to adjust the headlights vertically on a E70 X5?

I have a 2007 X5 E70 with Xenon headlights, but having same issue...passenger side is lower and driver side might be a bit too high. I tried the link listed above and the pictures the link shows are for a "car" not an "SAV" or X5. Does anyone have pictures and instructions for an X5 E70 specifically?

Here you are.

Just for clarification...if you're referring to the links in posts #11 & #12 above...the images are of an e53 X5 (the 1st generation X5)...not a car or BMW "sedan"...but also a "SAV" just like the e70 X5 (2nd generation X5).


To be clear, I don't own an e70, I own an e53...but BMW design principles usually don't stray far even between generations and especially within the same generational "cousins". For an example, I went to the internet just to look for e70 X5 headlights...and I can bet dollars to donuts that the vertical and horizontal adjustments can be made by the 2 white screws seen in the pic below on these 2012/2013 X5 headlamp assembly.

Does your xenon headlamps look like the one below? If yes, then look for those white screws. Then pull up to your garage door or wall...and stop about 10-15 feet back...then turn on the headlights and adjust the lights higher or lower...or left/right. :)
