I can imagine the 55w is amazing, ill leave the 35w in for now and check back before winter see if any 55w kits have burnt out the projectors

The stealth 35k kit is hardly any brighter than nightbreakers tbh

Am I the only one who has the motor adjustment problems?

Thanks for reply

I’ve got the same issue with the motors, works for an up and down, then gives error which clears on restarting the car.

I'm wondering if the lights were connected with them set out of range, ie moving the adjustment knob tries to move the setting lower than the lights will go. I need to disconnect them, move the knob, then reconnect them to check, but haven't got round to it yet.

Might need doing for MOT soon, but we'll see.

Anyone else got any ideas? Are most people's working ok?

On the mot test do they make sure the manual level adjust works?

I could also be screwed, particularly as I wish to get my first MOT done at BMW

Even if i move the dial very very slowly up and down and it still faults. I don't think there is a jam, I think the resistance or load of the motor on the cars electrical system generates the fault

ive got the same on mine, i think aaron had this too. doesnt bother me too much because its not something you mess around with much - i dont. once its set its set.. but nevertheless it is a fault and seems to be common too! has anyone approached eurowagons about this? what about the rest of the guys who purchased these, would be good to see how many have the problem. mine are being replaced as part of accident repair jst hope they do a good job!

Make sure you put the bulbs correct position. Mine wasn't bright before when bmw specialist garage put them wrong way. Also make sure your bulbs are regular H7 not H7R which weren't bright when I put them in these depo projectors. Good luck mate

I think I could only get them in one way due to mounting clip

I have the same issue with the motor adjustment. When turning the car on they lights go up and down, but I cannot adjust them on the wheel, and have no error message showing ( I had error message once when they were first fitted). Seems to be a common issue with them.

I have been tinkering with the knob dial between 0 and 1, so far no problems and no error messages.

When i unlock my car, indicator lights comes on which it doesn't look good with yellow colour. Is it possible to have dipped beam light comes on when unlocking the car ????

Mine also have that error message problem when i adjust the headlights vertically.

Best thing is to set it before you turn the engine on, then leave it at the same setting forever.

Love these devil eyes man!
