Faulty Xenons?

sunscreemer · 11-06-2013, 11:16 AM

Hi guys. I have adaptive Xenons and lately especially when the car is static (and the adaptive function is off or on) i've noticed some headlight "bouncing". It was doing it tonight and when I got hime and parked up in front of the garage it seems the off side headlight is bouncing. Anyone else suffered this? Is there a reset you can do or is it a trip to the dealer?

Trio to the dealer I would say with Xenons. Sounds like the bulb or light unit itself it slightly loose....

Both my F30's did/do this. Also the light beam is very concentrated, just rain water running down the lens (when stationary) set the beam shimmering.

Ah, I think it has been very wet recently on both occasions when I have noticed this so perhaps it is just "what happens". May just get them to double check when it next goes in to the shop.
