    Anyone had any problems with the self leveling headlamps. My MC seems to have a lazy eye as one headlamp refuses to move when the headlamps are switched on and still won't move when the headlamp level adjuster switch is moved. Any one got any idea how to fix it or is it back to BMW :question:

    Yup.. had this before!!
    And it sometimes happens again now.. occasionally when it's wet.. :disapprove:

    Back to the Dealer!! It's a warranty thing. Looks like it'll be 2 new headlights! - TRy fiddling the switch up and downa few times to see if that helps, or turn off all the lights and ignition, and start it all up again. that sometimes works too..
    Apparently it's the cog-wheelie-mechanism-thingy takes a bit of a hissy fit..

    My car failed its MOT due to this problem. Its a warranty issue and easily fixed by the dealer.

    I'd just like to point out that I've had some experience with headlights in my time and in order to be chivalrous, if any of the ladies on here would like me to have a look at their headlights for them please give me a call.
