Question

My headlights don't go up and down when I turn the car on, and it seems like they aren't particularly bright (maybe because they are pointed down?) Whats wrong with the car.

Optional Information

2003 BMW 530i

Already Tried:
nothing, couldn't find any fuses associated with a headlight motor

Accepted Answer

There is a sensor that is connected to the right front control arm that could have come loose, Or one of the headlights internal position sensor is not operating. I would check that sensor but I think you will need to bring it to the dealer so they can read out the faults in the Lamp module to see what the problem is.
