e46 m3 xenon self-leveling issue
I just got my 2004 E46 M3 back from the shop after a fender bender that necessitated replacing the left headlight. Everything looks in order, except that my xenon headlights are not self-leveling and are set too high--high enough that I'm getting high-beam flashes from opposing traffic--and I certainly don't want to drive around blinding people! The level sensor in the front right suspension looks intact, so I don't think that's the issue.
Possibly relevant facts: the car is lowered slightly on Bilstein coilovers, but this is not new while the headlight issue is. Also, I have angel eyes installed. I already had angel eyes and did not have an issue, although I have a separate issue with the repaired/replaced angel eyes (set to be on only with the headlights rather than as daytime driving lights). Any insights or advice would be most appreciated. Thanks. |

There's also another sensor in the rear.
You can still manually adjust the headlights, just rotate the wheels above each headlight but do it about 30 feet away from a wall on a leveled surface.

I figured there must be a sensor in the rear but couldn't find it... do you know where it's mounted?
Thanks for the helpful response. |

It's mounted on the right rear suspension just right of the differential.
