Before :whistle:
I was enjoying the movement of adaptive xenon headlights... but ..

After a malfunction in adaptive headlights system :blink:
my advisor told me that they changed the whole adaptive system & they
re-aligned the adaptive headlights.

I think they did not do the alignment accurately, Thus ??

Now :wacko:

I don't see clearly the movement of adaptive headlight & don't feel the taste that I felt when adaptive sys. was ok. Also, I think there is no Synchronous between both right & left adaptive lights.. which mean each one is working on its own.. correct me if I am wrong..


wana knonw your opinion and experience o:)

Er.. you need to switch to auto on the headlight switch for it to work.

I always have it on auto so I never realized you can disable the adaptive function by turning them on manually. I'll have to try it.

This may sound silly, but I didn't realise headlights had to be on the auto setting for adaptive to work. I assumed it worked whenever they were on regardless of the setting.

I knew I should have read the manual more carefully :whistle:

You're not the only one -- which is why it's in the FAQ...
