Headlights - How Should They Be Aimed?

I have the fancy Headlights (forget what they’re called) that came with
the P2.

When on bright they seem to point way left. If I’m on a road with trees
on both sides .. it lights up the left tree tops a lot but not the right tree
tops.

I think I read in the manual or someplace that they are supposed to be
pointing “somewhat” to the left. Is that correct? And - if so, how much?

When I take it back for my ESP repair, I will have them checked .. but,
wanted a little “heads up” about how they should be set, prior to going.

"fancy Headlights" = Bi-Xenon's

When you say "bright" do you mean "high-beams" ?

Your dealer has specifcations for how they should be aimed and that's how they will and should be set.

RE: Headlights

I had a similar problem with my 05, they were not properly aligned when delivered, one illuminated higher than the other by quite a margin. The dealer corrected the problem at the 1st diagnostic service where they used a specific machine to align the headlights. They were perfect after that.
