Head Light Projector out of center.

SirMedo · 06-21-2009, 07:39 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?

Yes, I had the same problem. My passenger projector got stuck in the UP position blinding everyone. Dealer replaced the headlight assembly.

I have a 135 and installed new bulbs....used a diy off the 1addicts forum.

After the install the driverside pointed up....way up and blinded everyone.

Turns out, while messing with the retaining clips and cover I had knocked the "eyeball"

out of it's socket. Seems that while pushing,prying the "bitch clips" my hand

had pushed against the assembly hard enough to knock it from it's normal

position. It still functioned....it was just way high. After looking it over I was

able to push it back in place...maybe this is your problem too

Yep that's what happend to me too. I was looking around the headlight and noticed that its out of the socket. Now I need to push it back in. Does anybody know if you can remove the headlight without removing the front bumper? I need to open the back of the light and push it back in.

You can adjust it manually, I believe its in your BMW manual.
