bring it to the dealer

check your SMC they are under each side of your headlight maybe one broken or either burn out.

Which error message did you get? There are at least two. One is for a burned out DRL/flash-to-pass bulb. The other shows the headlight symbol with a curved arrow. If it is the latter symbol, then it might just be the steering angle sensor that needs to be reset.

^^is there an easy way to reset this guys?? I have a procede and don't want to be forced to take it out cuz of going to the dealer.

- I noticed that sometimes the headlights wouldnt actually move at all, like they usually do when they're on, this would happen randomly and intermittently.
-Then the other day the light came on a while. It seems like the headlight direction is frozen and I can bearly see the road at night because on is pointing lower than usual and I have no idea where the second light is pointing lol.

Is there anyway I can fix this myself??

thanks guys.

Take it to Bavarian Performance Group in Winchester and have them take a look first. They'll give you their honest opinion.

I had the same problem. My issue was caused from the motor that turns the headlights burning out. They replaced the whole headlight assembly under warranty.

It was part #63-11-7-182-518 to be exact.

bump, anyone else have this problem?

I have the same prob...adaptive malfunction...right side points to the ground....still tryna fix it!!

bebecker · 03-07-2008, 12:12 PM

I had the same problem. I replaced the right side module by purchasing a new one from Tischer. Problem Solved. Easier than screwing with the "mods messed up your headlights" at the dealer.

I just bought LUX H8 V3 LED AE. I'm wondering if you have the same product installed in your to cause the adaptive headlight failed?
