I also notice it helps to illuminate the sides of highways and dark roads lined with grassy areas and forests. Since there are lots of deer around here, it is a good measure of safety.

 

yeah...part of the point of the raised cutoff is so you can see signs to your right of the road. it's not about not blinding people - that's the point of the projectors itself.

in places like uk and jp, where the traffic flow is reversed, the raised cutoff is actually to the left, so the driver can see the street signs to the left of the road.

 

I currently have my level to 0 and is there any way to make the beam a little bit higher? I can't seem to figure out the philips driver thing adjustment.

 

Nice, WW Evo.

Good info.

 

+1 do you need a thin long screw driver?

 

^ or use a 5mm or 5.5mm on the nut at the back of the housing, i found it easier to adjust than using a screwdriver

 

I was wondering why they were uneven, I never once thought about something like that! Thanks for the info!!!

 

Was this function subjected to the X or the IX comes with this feature ???

 

if you're on a dark road you can raise the beam height, or if you're carrying something heavy or towing sometime you can lower it

 

Wow, that pic is interesting. My lights don't look like that at all. Wish I had a pic of it, but they look like this:

Except that they are at about a 30 degree angle (left side down from flat). I've always assumed it is to keep the lights out of the oncoming driver's eyes. Mine are all stock as far as I know.

I'll try to remember to take a pic of it tonight.

I'd also be curious to know if it's opposite on a right hand drive car.

 

wish i had the HIDs on mine i have the non hids and if you put the bulbs in wrong you can have one aimed high and one aimed low.

 

my passengerside seems to be aimed lower than the driver's side... I will try realigning tomorrow

 

... Back to Q15H's question, is there an adjustment for left to right? I don't have the overlap as shown in the OP pic, I have somewhat of a gap (dark spot )in the middle.

 

Seems to be the way most makers do HIDs. My wife's 328xi is the same way...

 

The lights in the Evo are definitely unique compared to other cars. My girlfriend always tells me she loves how my HIDs aren't so annoyingly bright, because of the way they are aimed.
