hey guys, got a buddies 3er over doin some work on it and noticed the adaptive light looks like its stuck pointing down?

anyone seen this before? does it need to be replaced or can i take this thing apart and reset it?

wow looks like something seriously went wrong with that headlight. Did you hit any big pot holes or something like that to shake loose the headlight?

It looks like something broke inside the headlight. If the car is still under warranty i'd do to the dealer

Several possibilities.

One is that the headlight level linkage has popped out. Open the back cover of the headlight (as if you are changing the D1S bulb). Then look at the lower left, there should be a small motor connected to the assembly through a ball and socket joint. If this is lose, carefully pull the assembly and pop it back in.

Another is that the connection to the horizontal adjustment has popped out. Not sure if you can see this without removing headlight. You need to remove the LED turn signals, and look at the assembly vs the white horizontal adjustment arm. You'll see that the assembly is either connected to the arm, or not.

Another is that the connection to the vertical adjustment has stripped. I'm sure there is no way to see this other than removing the headlight. If it's not the level linkage or the horizontal adjustment connection, then it must be this vertical adjustment. I'm not aware of any way to fix this other than to open the housing.
