Please tell me this is normal

doggiedog · 10-24-2010, 06:22 PM

I was looking at my driver's side projector light just now and saw that it is pointed downwards while passenger's side is facing forward.

Is this normal? I don't get any errors.

Pardon for the bad pics but I just took it right now in my garage with my cell phone.

Edit: It is pointed downwards even with the lights on.

Lazy eye. Make it wear a patch. See example:

It's normal when the light encounters a problem, like hitting a hard bump. The car needs to go to the dealer to get the light reprogramed and in extreme cases they replace the headlamp assembly

Its normal when its broken.

This goddamn car has been nothing but fkn trouble. It's got only 15K miles since Feb 2009 and I've been through 3 goddamn HPFPs, fuel injectors, L7 stereo, 5 tires, and now this? It probably won't be covered under warranty bc I put the LUX H8 LED in it.

Then call BMWNA about buying it back.

Maybe the car didn't want you to hit any more potholes and replace more tires so it aimed the light down?

Yep, not normal. But oddly, the other week, I saw two E92's that had the pass. side pointing up, which prompted me to check my own car...I mean I have a month of warranty left, and the Gold 7/100 for another 3 years. But as we all know, the Gold doesn't cover things like the headlamps....

I got my car fixed yesterday under warranty. They had to replace the whole headlight unit.
