Xenon Headlight height control!

[Iceberg_172]

Not sure if it just my car but the dipped beam (xenons) point downwards quite a bit! they havent got the little wheel inside the car to adjust them but they are ment to be self adjusting according to some!

Is there any way of bringing the beam up a bit so i can see more of the road ahead or is that just the way they are?

Thanks

Theyre self adjusting, they work off a height sensor on the rear axle

yeah i thought it would have been something like that!

just the do point down quite alot! when you first switch them on are you ment to hear them adjusting to the correct height!?

thanks

Yea you can hear them and you can see the beam moving.

Both my old 172, and my 182 don't make a noise or move when switched on.
Think the switch on the rear beam brakes easy.

You cant reaaly tell its moving unless your parked up against a wall, or somethin close to the headlights.
