headlight leveling??

tsbrown · 12-04-2023, 09:57 PM

Recently had my passenger side headlight removed/reinstalled as part of some front end repair (someone backed into me). They are the full adaptive LED lights with the VLD/GFHB coding done. Since getting the car back about a month ago I get oncoming drivers flashing me with their high beams when I’m on lows. Didn’t get this before which makes me wonder if the reinstalled headlight needs aiming. But I can’t find video or instructions on it. Have had the car 5 years…2019 pre LCI 540i.

Suggestions?

This may be too simple, but have you gone back to the place that installed the new headlight? Perhaps they need to readjust the light. Good luck on it. --Bob

I can do that but trying to diy at home if possible. Had to do this on my E90 M3 a few years ago. It’s actually the same headlight, not new so no coding was required.
