I was trying to raise my xenons a little yesterday cos the factory setting doesn't seem to light up the road very far...but a problem I ran into was that the left dial moves very easily, while the right one is just stuck. Has anyone had this problem? Is there something I can do to move the star thing? :dunno:

TIA

Mine were pointed too far down. I took the car to the dealer and they adjusted the lights for free. Now I can really see the difference. My first night out, someone flashed their high beams at me--that never happened before.

think that might mean they're too aimed too HIGH now?

Could be, could also be that Xenon radiate more light than what were used to in halogen, some drivers (myself included) find Xenon very distracting, but I fall short of "flashing" highbeams, or dis'ing someone for their personal freedom of choice to get that option.

Could be. The first time I adjusted my Xenons, I set em too high and was getting high-beamed, even here where people are used to em. I've fixed it since, and haven't been flashed once.

You too, huh? My left was too low - dealer adjusted it. Now I find the illumination from the halogens are very good. I've been flashed a couple of times too.
