Adaptive Xenons, problem

[Minty]

Hi all,

The last few nights I have noticed my headlights are aiming VERY high. When I switch them on, they do there little up and down adjusty thingy they normally do, but then settle on an angle of about 8 feet above the road (!!), thus dazzling other drivers. Any ideas what the problem is.??

Cheers!

Could be a faulty sensor, but i would guesse one of the sensors has frozen stuck. Mine did it last year and eventually cured itself when the weather warmed up

Thanks will be patient then - noticed in the mornings, anything below -1 and the drivers window sticks too for a few mins. Good old french cars

Is there any kind of adjustment in the car, a switch or something (sorry, the wife has the car at the mo)

Theres a hole in the top of each headlight with a white plastic alan key screw, that the manual adjustment screw

You can stop the windows from sticking by getting some silicone spray along the window edge.

That's really useful, thanks Ryan & Crezzy!
