2018 LED Headlight Adjustments

[Alan l.]

FYI I've seen numerous posts here by members about how you are suppose to turn your vertical adjustment screw COUNTER clockwise to raise the light output. Well this IS NOT the case for the 2018. I turned mine counter clockwise and my lights kept going lower and lower. Once I turned it clockwise the lights raised up.

My method.

Get into the car
Put the headlight on Manual ON
Turned the car full ON
Pop the hood
Waited about 2mins
Then turned the screw about 1 full turn CLOCKWISE from stock and its now at a perfect height.

Not sure how they adjusted in with xenons or older F8X but this was the way that worked on my 2018 LED car.

I did my the right way after lowering the car

Shouldn't the lights auto-adjust after lowering because of the light adjustment rod that's tied to the front suspension?

From all of my previous bmw's with dynamic HID or LED's yes they move up and down based on the suspension position but they still have a "default" setting or starting point that you can adjust. Makes a huge difference once I manually moved the starting point of the lights just one turn higher.

Anyone know how many turns from 0(pointing all the way down) to default it should be?
