I have a 2006 mini cooper with the halogen daytime lights/high beam and HID low beam.

I noticed my day time running lights/high beam the right side is a few inches lower than the left side.

However with the HID's on, they are more even??

How is this possible? I thought the HID and high/beam go up and down together, how can one be different than the other in the same side?

I know there are two adjusting screws for up/down left/right. Do these control both High beam and low beam HID? If so, how can I adjust it if the high beam is off from the HID low beam??

 

Its all here:

The main screws do the whole housing and then the xenon are then controlled by the auto levelers ( front and rear suspension sensors ) and motor inside.

 

So if I use the screws to raise the High Beam/day time running lights up a bit, wont it move the HID low beam up as well? When I see the auto leveling done, both my daytime running lights and HID low beams move up and down together.

 

Its moves it a hair but the auto lever / Xenon compensates as the motor will auto set each time you turn on the lights.

 

So I should use the screws to raise the High beam/day time running lights up and then the auto leveler will take care of the HID low beams?

 

Yep.

 

Well I did what you said and used the adjustment screw to raise the Day time running lights/high beam so its even with the other side. Just like I expected, the HID low beam was also raised at the same time. Makes sense sense they both move up/down together as one unit.

So your method did not work for me. If I move one the other moves also, so I have no way to adjust each separately.
