Does anyone know if a non functioning headlight height toggle switch can be coded out, and if so, which Bimmercode do I use.

Got my Depo headlights from Eurowagens fitted in October 2019 to my 320d ED.

The next MOT (this month) was barely scraped through, after pleading with the fairly strict MOT examiner and telling him what Eurowagens told me after the installation in Oct 19 -when I realised my height aim toggle no longer functioned.

Eurowagens said the Depos would automatically self height adjust.

The MOT examiner had unfortunately spotted this toggle not working, but eventually let it pass. He said though it should be working if it is fitted. The internet says the same, as do the MOT guidelines.

I told Eurowagens of the MOT issue, and at first they quizzed me details of the type of light bulbs I used, then they said they'd had no problems with the other 400 headlights that they've sold and maybe I should try another MOT garage!

I have now purchased a replacement light switch (minus the headlight height adjustment toggle) which will arrive soon, from eBay.

Anyone know how to code out the Headlight Vertical Aim adjuster (and can it be done via Bimmercode)?

Just looking through the threads for help… my depo headlights have passed mot for the last 3 years now i get an mot fail because the headlight adjuster stops working after a few tries .
I also have thought of changing the switch to one without the beam adjustment… did you try this and have you had mot issues since ??
Cheers for any help

In Bimmercode, get into FEM, switch to expert mode, then look for LWR_AHL_TYP and change the value to "ohne". Do the same for LFC_AKTIV and change its value to"nicht aktiv".
This will disable the throw adjustment motor and the error code on your dashboard. Still, you should fix the underlying problem (chaffed motor wires, broken sensor), for optimum road illumination and thus your safety.
