Hello,
I had a small accident with mv BMW E60 and i had to replace the front bumper and the right headlight. The headlights are halogen not xenon.
The first thing i have noticed is that the headlights do not do anything when i start the engine. Before, when i was starting the eingine, i could see that the lights go down and up again, and now they do nothing. and neither i can adjust them from the button on the left in the dashboard(to different positions0,1,2... regarding the weight in the car).
Could anyone tell me wher could be the problem?
I have no errors, and the lights are ok, just the adjustment is gone and i have to make the periodical inspection at the begining of next year.
thanks for any ideeas that you may have.
cheers.
George

George, it sounds like you are not in US. Did you purchase the replacement headlight from the dealer or from somewhere else? It seems like your replacement is US spec'd, which does not have auto leveling.
