Low Beams Pointed at Ground?

Got in my car last night to pick up the wife from the airport and couldn't see s--t. My low beams appear to be malfunctioning and lighting up only about 15 ft. in front of the car. High beams are working.

What's this about and how do I fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like the motor went bad in the head light assembly. That happened last year to my 04 E55 and I had it replaced under warranty.

Yes, the lights move as you can around corners etc. and I hate to say it, but it was not cheap to get that fixed.

I had a bulb blow out in mine which broke the motor that adjusts the beam up/down (cornering still works) and the dealer refuses to replace it under warranty. Pretty cool.
