Adaptive LED Headlights *Horizontal* Alignment

TomBMW · 02-20-2017, 06:33 PM

Anyone know how to adjust the horizontal position in the adaptive LED headlights? Vertical is easy but I can't for the life of me find the horizontal adjustment, making me think the only way is to loosen the headlights from the bumper and adjusting it that way, which seems ridiculous.

I've searched everywhere and the F30 F31 guys have both adjustments, but it seems like it's not there on the M4? Weird.

Likely via coding. Try over in the DIY and Coding forum.

there will be another knob that looks identical for horizontal

but id hesitate in adjusting unless you know what you're doing as it's all too easy to create hot spots or dead zones free balling horizontal adjustment

I looked, but on my car there's only one knob on each side.

I agree with others that would require coding, I assume your wanting to adjust the beam throw?

Try looking again. Two on each side. One seems like its almost hiding under the fender (almost have to angle driver to get to it)

Why do you want to adjust them? They are not supposed to be symmetric left to right if that's what you're thinking.

I just wanted to know for knowledge's sake. I looked all over inside and into the fender and it's not there. I only see one WHITE adjustment screw and it's for the vertical adjustment.
