    Z4 Headlight Beam Manual Adjustment Not Working

    Hey, everyone.

    This is technically for a 2003 Z4 3.0i, but likely happens on other models.

    You know that hex/phillips slot behind the headlight unit to manually adjust the beam? Mine rotates left and right, including the cog wheel below, but no longer adjusts the beam. Any easy fix to adjust the beam without buying a whole headlight unit?

    Thanks,

    Marc

    Just an update, and perhaps a tip for fellow owners, the headlight unit was just fine. I wasn't twisting enough to where the adjustment starts to take effect. Silly me. But all's well that ends well.
