Hi guys,

If you see the picture below, my drivers side light is stuck pointing left on my 2008 335i Sedan. I assume that is why I'm constantly getting the AHL light on my dash. I was wondering if there was some way to simply point the light straight ahead until I get the AHL's fixed?

Would it be possible to also code out the AHL error in the interim as well?

Whoa, I didnt know they even swung that far. I assume the adjuster fell off or broke. I dont think using the manual adjuster will ever get you back to zero.

Thanks. If there is some kind of mechanical thing wrong then that may be good news. I could possibly fix it without to much work. The drivers side pictured doesn't move at all, ever. My passenger side light seems normal and does the usual startup dance routine.

I have a little bit of condensation inside the lens on rainy days so my theory was that my module went bad which resulted in the lazy eye. But I'd much prefer just a loose arm or something to be the issue.

So...does anyone know how to manually point the light? I did't want to take everything apart only to find that everything is sealed and it's not possible to move the bulb at all.

Do you have dynamic lights/auto adjusting? If so..

There's a hatch on the back side of the headlight housing. Pop it open. I'm 80% certain that the arm that connects the light to the motor that moves the light popped out. It's just a ball joint that holds it in. Self adjusting wont do anything in this case.

Thanks Gatorshoes! The light does say "Dynamic Xenon" on the side so I'll try opening up that hatch you mentioned and see if I can find that arm.
