Self-leveling headlights no-more

[MSport]

Guys, I just noticed that my headlights no longer do self-leveling (previously they do) when you turn on your headlights to "AUTO" when you start the car. Now, it's just stays there. Also, noticed the lights seem a bit low.Is there some mechanism or electronics gone wrong? I do not get any alarms on the OBC.Any advise?Thanks.

both lamps or just one lamp?

Looks like from both sides left & right. Single lamp each.

Good la! One less gremlins.. just adjust the height lights back via the headlight adjuster [if its possible], and let it stay there. Kao tim!

I seriously won't pay money fix that.

Can be the brittle plastic lifter like the E39 putus liao, which is a cheap fix, try get someone listen to check if the motor in the headlight still cranking. If total silent, motor also mati liao! or maybe just a fuse blown, since both side mati at the same time..

check the level sensor (item 1) for lamp and also the connecting arm (item 4).
It could have dislodge from the ball joint.
