Had to change the left headlight due to moisture. It didn?t go away in 4 weeks time!

It was changed under warranty, but when I drove the car at night yesterday I noticed a very strange lightpattern from the low beam lights!? Have to take it in to the dealer again

It?s a big black area one to two carlenghts in front to the right. Just like the right lamp is lower than the left. Strange thing is that it was the left one they changed? The range of the low beam is also very short IMO.

Aren?t they supposed to adjust / check the lights after installing a new headlight?

This is a typical BMW problem.

I had moist in my E36 and E46s and I have now also seen it in
my new E60's angeleye eyebrows and side leds.

If you have Xenons they shoud adjust themselves after a
pre-setting, but whatever, the service/dealer should adjust them!!!
