Headlights Not Aligned

xpillzboyx · 05-03-2008, 03:54 AM

I picked up my car from the shop a couple days ago. i got into an accident and they gave me a whole new left headlight because the old one is shattered. the problem is that the right one shines further and covers more area than the left headlight. should i take this problem back to the body shop or would bmw cover it under its warranty program? also i have led turn signals with resistors so would the dealership say anything about voiding my warranty?

update:
i realigned it and the only way i could get it as bright as the right light is to make it prettyh much as high as a high beam. i talked to the bodyshop over the phone and they said its the bulb thats the problem and they are ordering me a new bulb... is this correct or could it be something else like the ballast?
