mine have been fine... but i'm '05. it seems the vast majority of these issues are happening with '03s. first production year issue?

 

is the headlight adjustment feature even offered on the '05s?

 

^you're talking about the scroll wheel to adjust the HIDs from 1-5, right? i'm '05 SSL and i have it.

 

cool, thought the acd control thing moved that all or it wasn't included. oh well

 

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM LMAO... i have an 03 but whatever i can live with it..

 

it does it from time to time...no biggie

 

I just adjusted mine too high, dropped it down one click on the leveling, and all is good. Funny, I don't ever remember seeing this thread before...

 

Ditto. Same deal on mine.

 

Mine does this too. I manually adjusted mine to be higher than stock as well. Time to go back and adjust it back down.

 

Mine don't even really react to the adjustment wheel... They are just down most of the time, so i drive around with fog lights on, so i can see further than 3 feet... Then like once a week they'd go up all of a sudden for maybe an hour or so, then back down for another week.... It's toying with my nerves

 

Has anyone tried to replace the level adjust switch unit? It seems from the wiring diagram, level control is done by voltage comparison, and the adjusting unit needs to provide very stable resistance depending on the level selection. (highest = lowest resistance) Therefore, if you remove the switch, it goes to the lowest level because open circuit is infinite resistance (highest resistance).

I am not sure what exactly causes this problem, but I guess replacing the level switch itself is a good start. (also cheaper than headlamp unit.)

 

Have a part number? I can see if I can't help out with this and see what my parts lady will do for us...

03-06 EVO uses the same part. Hope someone can try a new part and see if it fixes the problem.

 

my car does that from time to time as well. all i do is just adjust the knob a little and it stops doin that....pretty strange!!

 

Yeah, mine does that too, that is why I am suspecting the switch itself.
