Great Job, Fritz!! My 2014 M235i Headlight Vertical Adjusters can also receive a 6mm T-Handle Allen Wrench, which seems to engage more-easily and positively than a Phillips head screwdriver. Plus the T-Handle provides an easy reference for quarter-turn, half-turn, etc. My Horizontal Adjusters DO NOT accept a Phillips head screwdriver. Instead, it seems they need a small "square head" socket. Fortunately, I don't need that calibration at this time, but I'd sure like to find out what size/style that socket might be. It's way down there! Anybody else have this similar set-up?
Fantastic tip, thank you! Your comment deserves to be pinned 📍
Thanks for the video Fritz! Just picked up a 6 speed Estoril blue M235i 2 weeks ago and am loving it so far. Going to save these helpful videos for future reference.
Great information, thanks for sharing
Very cleaver advices 👍🏾
Thank you. Hope it was helpful
Thanks for your video and all detailed explanation, in my case probleme come from change whit Led lamp , the beam was completely out of adjustment, but above all the right side was very low, I adjusted it to the max at the top but it is still not enough and the high beam on this same side now illuminates the tops of the trees... I have the impression that the headlight block is in several parts, I had to move / dislocate the "projector" part in the block. If you have an idea of how the interior of the block and its different parts are made up, I'm interested. Thanks a lot
Hey man,
Good video. Can you let me know how it should feel like bottoming out at either end? I have one headlights that seems too high even at the lowest level I get it to. Not sure if something's wrong with the adjustor
Hey fritz do you have any logs for your bm3. I’m running jb4 and I want to compare them I feel like my cat is running lean on WOT
Hi, how do you set the auto headlights sensitivity on the bmw 4 series m sport?
thank you very much!
You're welcome! I think I just replied to an old comment of yours in regards to this lol
@@FritzRamos yeah you did lol, about high beam adjustments. Your a life saver with these 2 series vids
which one size of tape 2inch?
Hey fritz, I got an Adaptive Headlight Malfunction alert. Do you have any advice on how to fix this? Thank you!
Check the plastic linkage on the driver side front control arm.
I can't get my main beem working
1:43 Okay, so do I go as close as I can to the wall or has to be a certain amount of feet?
Just close enough to get your measurements
@@FritzRamos ok thanks
You keep your US side markers off?
That's how I got the car 😅
My dad got a 2012 bmw 535d how can you adjust the angles of the headlight cus they are pointing high
this video shows exactly that
@tin.1 no it bears no relation to a 5 series😮
No this bears no relation to my 2013 520. Cant find anything, its undriveable on a dark road. Garbage
I've disliked the video. If there isn't a button/dial to bring beam up and down with regards to load, the car literally is shit! I'm borrowing my mom's brand new BMW to get me to work while my 2012 peugeot is at the vets. My pug can adjust the beam while I'm moving. I can also set off with my door half open then shut it on the move. Bmw just dings as if somethings wrong🙄
