[QUOTE="Sirimusa, post: 659303, member: 31881"] Hi all, After going to get my headlight checked at Wearnes BMW, I got some answers but also more questions: -as you all may know, our xenon headlights (on e90 LCIs) have horizontal and vertical movement mechanisms as they are self-adjusting and steer. What happened with my headlight is that BMW "thinks" that my vertical mechanism on my passenger xenon is broken and this is why my xenon bulb is severly pointing downwards and stays stuck in this position -Wearnes did realign the faulty xenon bulb according to legal specifications but I notice that the bulb is now very slowly starting to fall back down. It is already out of alignment and another bump will probably have the bulb fall back in the lowest position Wearnes told me there are two solutions now: either the mechanism is broken and I would have to change the whole headlight (this will run in the thousands!! Yikes!) or they maybe able to fix the mechanism and there will be no need to change the headlight. But what absolutely puzzles me and angers me is that why did Wearnes not even bother to tell me then if it can be fixed or not???! They aligned the headlight and then told me to come back another time to check again. I mean what the heck!! I don't have time to go back and forth! Since Wearnes had the car, they could keep it for an extra day and let me know: you must change or your must fix! Goodness! Anyaways, any of you experience this with your xenons? Any solution? Any idea on how much a headlight would cost??! Wearnes had the balls to tell me "in the thousands" but didn't even bother checking! Cheers! [/QUOTE]
