Adaptive headlights

Anyone have their headlights go? Mine shine about 10 feet in front of the nose of my car. Can see squat at night. Hope it's a quick fix!

Garage List
Presume you have the adaptive xenons? If so they should be automatic and adjust using ballast etc.

If you have the halogens they will be height adjusted using a roller by the headlamp switch.

Have adaptive xenon's. I've got a NA M-Sport 335i xDrive and the xenon's are standard issue.

Mine are actually too high. People flash me all the time thinking my brights are on. I like it though b/c I can see EVERYTHING when I'm driving at night.

Just had them fixed. Dealer didn't say much so no idea why the didn't auto adjust. On the plus side, they washed my salt crusted car
