R/F head light e90 help needed

[low_flyer]

Guys I am clearly a noob to this but my front right head light won't adjust up. It seems they have stripped the adjustment but on the inside of the unit. Can someone help me with details of someone who can either fix this unit or get me a new one at a decent price. I have a e90 330d facelift 2009 model. Please help me guys I am desperate

welcome dude...


so... i've had a similar situation on my e46.... u can remove the headlamp, pop off the front cover, then the bevel i think.. and you should be able to do a quick DIY Repair...

Hey man. Thank you. I been tempted to attempt a diy but honestly I am not the greatest when it comes to improvising. I trolled the net and seems alot guys have this problem but no one has a quick fix or can source these lights with a decent price tag. It's so fusterating as I collected the car from the dealership and all was good now all over a sudden they don't want to know nothing about supporting their client. I believe I also have a asthmatic turbo lol. Got tears of joy from the drive but a heavy heart thinking about what this "repair" is going to cost

Xenons or halogens? Where are you based?

possibly check out ChefDJ's thread of the DIY on his E39, might give you a clue as to where to start, if it is similar in design

Put the car on the lift and check the autoleveling sensor on the control arm for the side that's no levelling.

ok cool i am going to check it out today
do you think if i raise the sensor it could resolve my problem?

agent recon a new head light is needed @ R28500 before labour and ex Germany so that defiantly inst an option.

Of course the agent wants to sell you a new headlight. With new ballasts and new bulbs.

Just check the levling sensor you cant raise it, there might just be a problem with it. Ive seen them snap off before and also come off. It's where I would start. It could very well be your headlight. And if that's the case just source a second hand one for 3 to 5k
