- Adjusting the front-fog lights -

Jcaiado,
I had a minor accident which required paintwork for the front bumper. Days after getting the car out from the dealer, I noticed that the right fog light is not adjusted (pointing way higher than it should be, compared with the left one).

How can I adjust/line it straight without needing to take the car back to the dealer ?

Thanks
there's a plastic knob/screw you can turn to adjust

I need help finding a switched 12v in the front of my european 545i. I cant use the cigarete lighter as it has no power going through it even though the fuse is not blown. Is there another switches 12v source?

Also, is there a wire to use for radio muting for a Nokia bluetooth carkit?

Cheers
Do you have a rearview mirror? most new ones have a 12V switched in it

I have this same issue.
Does your battery die? My battery just died couple days ago after starting the car up after about a week or so in the COLD.. Looks like its a battery issue indeed....

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I saw this thread. Just wanted to ask how to replace the HID controller on my 2004 520i. The passenger side HID wont turn on and the message on the car indicates "Dipped beam right failure". BMW service center told me the controller was busted but they're charging an arm and a leg just to replace it. I understand the controller is just the ignitor/capacitor/ballast to power the bulb. Just thought I could fix it myself. By the way, what controller model do I need? Thanks in advance.

How can my dealer program my car so that my mirrors fold? I did an M6 mirror swap,got the switch with the fold button.But when I went to the dealer to have them program it to fold,They said it's not possible? The door modules in my car and the M6 are 100% same.People also told me all you need to do is enable that function via coding?
