For whatever reason, I got my car back from service today and the lights were aimed SUPER low... think foglight low. I raised them when I got home, but now I'm not sure whether they're too high. If someone with bi-xenons could park about 6 1/2 feet from a wall (I measured in my garage) and measure the distance from the ground to the top of the peak in the beam on each side, I would greatly appreciate it. Mine are both set at about 26 inches. Thanks in advance!

why did the dealer re-adjust them in the first place?
Jose: Great idea... MJ wins my Wendy's frosty for being the first!
Jason: I have no clue why they would have adjusted the headlights in the first place. They had absolutely no reason to change the settings based on what I had requested they do during the service appointment.
Thomas: Thanks for measuring. I dropped mine down to about 24.5" each side. I found a thread last night that indicated you're stupposed to measure from the ground to the point just below where the slope up (/) begins on each side, not the peak.
Anyone else want to measure theirs and/or chime in?

Just now you started a revolution, and while no one wants to admit it - hell I will. You'll all be staring at a wall tonight with your BiX on just wondering if your dumped cars still view the road correctly. It's alright guys, I took the hit for you :o.Originally Posted by Blake P
