there is a little circular thing inbetween the high and low beam bulbs. It has about 12 little points on it, twist either way on both to raise or lower them, its easiest if you ar ein your garage and when you twist it you can see them slightly go up and down, i did it to my 750iL and i can see everything now! try it!

Correct, I realize that the cutoff pattern in the left and right are different so as not to offend oncoming traffic, BUT, the driver's side was aimed up. (After he pointed out it out, it sorta seemed like they were different than when I first got the car.)

As for not checking when I left the dealership - it was 1pm. I drove home, parked it in the garage and haven't done any nighttime driving until tonight. Woops :)

The two lights are different heights so that a) you dont blind on coming traffic and b) you can see further down the road simultaneously. Unfortunately, I dont know how you can adjust manually--looks like a trip back to the dealer. But I do have an inquiry into why you didn't check the allignment when you picked up your vehicle after servicing? Sorry , coudnt resist .
Get that fixed soon
