Hey everyone! New here, and am hoping that someone can help me out. I just picked up a 2005 S40 2.4i with the bi-xenon headlights. I love the headlights and the high beams light up the world! But, the low beams are a bit different. They tend to cast a shadow directly in front of the car and do not light up the road very much. I have a feeling that I need to adjust them, but don't know how on this model.
Love this car so far!! -A |

I have the same problem, and have been unable to find a good answer either. I have taken apart the headlamp assembly and there appears to be a motor or solenoid that controls the headlamp aim (im gussing its connected to the vehicle load sensors to adjust the aim if there is a load in the car which will mess up the aim).
From what i have read, the only way to adjust them low beam is to take the car in and have the dealer adjust the aim with their diagonistic computer....but that really sucks. If anyone knows more...please share!!! |
