Hi.

I am a ?newbie? to this forum, but I have been active for the past 7 years on the Acura MDX forum. This is my first post.

Here is my problem: The high beams are way too high.

I have a 2010 528i Xdrive with HID. I have found the two white screws to adjust the height of the low beams.

With the low beams properly adjusted, the high beams are way too high.

Is there a separate adjustment for the high beams or to lower the high beams must I lower the low beams as well.

Many thanks in advance.

AFAIK on every car that uses 2-in-1 high & low beam there's no separate adjustment ...

 

I recommend you return your vehicle to the dealer to undo your "adjustment". You should expect to be charged for the work.

Welcome to the forum!

 

 

Thanks.

I only adjusted the screws about 1 to 1 and 1/2 turn. So I will have no trouble lowering the low beams a bit.

Before I posted, I suspected the high beams moved in tandem with the low beams, but I wanted to make sure.

Thanks for the information.

Not sure what you mean by HID as factory Xenon headlight or non-OEM upgraded HID bulb in a Halogen housing.
But if it's OEM factory Bi-Xenon headlight there is only one light and it has flap/cover for high beam that open up in the lens projector that cover half the beam in low beam mode. So the adjustment apply to the whole lens projector.

 

The car is brand new, 2010 with 2,000 miles, factory OEM Xenon HID lights.

BTW, if you know, are the factory OEM fog lights adjustable or are they fixed?

Thanks.
