Adaptive headlights not rotating, no error message

Bz2388 · 11-22-2015, 11:52 AM

I just bought a 07 328xi sedan about a month ago. I noticed the adaptive headlights don't move with the steering wheel at all. They auto adjust up and down but not left or right. Yes, I have it set to auto. No I'm not seeing any faults or error codes in the dash. Could it just need a fuse or reprogramming. It seems like if the stepper motor or actual module went id be getting a code.

I just started having the same issue a couple days ago. Unfortunately I have no idea what is causing it; have you figured anything out yet?

Usually this means the actual motor itself is moving inside the headlight, somthats why your not getting an error. Even though the actual projector itself isnt moving.

Sometimes the plastic rod connecting the projector to the motor pops off. That would be the first thing i would check.
