Head light projector out of center

SirMedo · 06-21-2009, 07:53 PM

Hi I got a 07 BMW 335i, the left side projector in the head light is a bit high. It’s not in the center of the headlight, so the left side shoots high up. Does anybody know how that can be centered manually? The light works fine no error messages or anything it moves too and auto-adjust it self.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Is the lamp just aimed wrong or does there appear to be physical damage to the entire assembly? If the lamp is just miss-aimed, there are two adjusting screws just behind the assembly:

The inner lamp is aimed high there is not physical damage visible. when you look at the headlight directly, the inner projector does not sit in the center of the housing. It is a bit high up.
thanks for your help.

There is no adjustment solely for the inner lamp (aka corning lamp). You can only move the entire housing with the adjustments I've already shown. I'd take it to the dealer as it sounds like there may be something wrong with the actual bulb alignment inside the housing. Hard to say just from your description.

FWIW, I had my passenger lamp replaced when it wouldn't 'adapt'. The bill, which was covered under warranty, was almost $1500.
