Thread: D4 high-beam alignment

I didn't doubt that the lights would be fixed or replaced once it became known that the lights on some vehicles were OK.

Well I was forced to pull the headlamp assembly off tonight as i blew my high beam bulb off while fiddling. Anyway the high and low beam do move together via the 2 adjustment screws as the whole assembly is 1 piece cast alloy, but I have halogens.

Am i to assume the low beam xenons are self leveling? If that is the case then shouldn't the light assembly be adjusted so the high beam is at the correct level and then adjust the auto leveling low beams up to a suitable level as to not blind oncoming traffic whilst still giving good throw down the road. Just a thought

The standard bi-xenon lights are not self-levelling.

There goes that idea then. LR will need to find a solution then. Valeo is the manufacturer of the headlight and they make lights for all a lot of European cars. I have checked there service bulletins on there website but can find nothing on headlamp adjustment.

As I see it the only way to adjust the halogens is to adjust the whole headlight unit. This would need to be done first.
Cover the bi-xenons and adust the position of each unit.
Then re-adjust the xenons.

The vehicle should have been delivered correctly set in the first place. So dealer should fix.

I Pre-delivered Graeme's & my own vehicle. On the tester the lights seemed ok, but it is when you actually use them that they are out.
My left light is further out than my right unit.
To adjust the lights you need to plug them into SDD & adjust via computer.
Something i found out when in Sydney.
Another something to do when i get back to work.

p.s. The Q093 will be released very soon if not starting to be done now. you will be notified in the mail.

Brad,
I havent been to work much in the last 2 weeks as i have been a little crook.
But before i left the Q093 was in progress to be released by end of month.
I hear that there is a lot to do with the electronics of the vehicle & a LOT of downloads.
One of the guys has posted the UK version of the recall but i cant fnd it at present.
There are a few things added as some are Aus specific.

Sorry i dont have all the specific's.

But yes all D4's will be involved.
As per all recalls some will be engine specific, & some will be VIN specific.
The recall will advise what is to be done to each vehicle depending on what type yours is.

Cheers
