Right headlight slightly higher than the left?
Little thing I know, but i have HIDs where the left headlamp is slightly set lower than the right. Anyone know the reason for this? I have the grand touring package so they are supposedly auto-leveling.
|
That is normal and it will step from left to right (and slightly pointing to the right), it's by design. Mainly so you you don't blind opposing drivers with you HID's when you pass each other.
|
Gotcha, thought it might be that, just wanted to make sure. Asked the service guy and he looked at me like I was nuts.
|
yup. the cutoff makes a staircase design
|
I am glad someone posted this, as I thought my headlights were slightly out of alignment.
|
I don't konw if it's true, but I also heard that it is a little higher to see street signs better?

I changed my bulbs too 10000K and raised the crap outta them...
Most of the time on coming drivers aren't even American citizens in Houston. So I really don't care... Edit: I'm joking?? |

If you have HID's you should drive behind another car that you can see your headlights on & tell me if the drivers side flashes yellow & then white again.
Mine does & the dealer says it NORMAL. Not on any other cars that have HID's!... |
the reason for the starggered look (left side being slightly lower) is so that you don't blind oncoming drives.
|
Mine do this, too. It's natural. And yes, the left one suppose to hang lower.

its actually so that you can see the right side better. so you can spot pedestrians easier, otherwise they would simply lower both lights.
|
does anyone knows how to adjust the headlights? someone in a related post mentioned it could be done with a screw driver, but i don't see how. :banghead:
thanks in advance. |

thanks in advance. Check the owners manual. |
this may sound stupid, but could you be more specific, as to where inthe manua??, I've looked but the only thing it says is to take it to the dealer and thats the last thing i'll do.
thanks for your help! |

do your lights hang low, do they wobble, do they flow?
|
thanks for the file, and the solution to this dilema.

My passenger side looks less bright than the right side, I assume because of this, and it annoyes me every time I pull up behind a car and can see it. I will adjust it and hopefully both beams will look equally bright.
