Do you know how to measure the correct height of xenon headlights? Other then using a service device. I think they are way too low now and would like to fiddle with them a bit.

I sometimes have the same feeling about the Xenons being too low,
especially in low-beam..
The Xenons have a standard factory setting plus a automatic height system.
You can see the adjustment happen when you start your car and the lights are showing against a wall.
Did once ask for my MY -05 E60 the BMW service to "higher" them, but they say they where OK.
