Adjustment of headlight horizontal aim

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 BMW 760Li, 2007 BMW 760Li, 2006 BMW 760i, 2006 BMW 760Li, and 2005 BMW 760i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The stepper motor controllers move the headlights to the right or left when the vehicle corners.

Horizontal range of movement of headlights:

Example: Right-hand bend:

The right-hand headlight turns by up to 15° (the right-hand headlight is the "inside" headlight on a right-hand bend).

Viewed from the vehicle, the right-hand headlight moves "outwards".

The left-hand headlight moves up to 8° (the left-hand headlight moves towards the middle of the vehicle, i.e. "inwards" as viewed from the vehicle).

The headlight on the outside of the bend has to reach its end position at the same time as the headlight on the inside of the bend so that the carriageway remains smoothly and evenly illuminated.

On a right-hand bend, the left-hand headlight is on the outside of the bend. The right-hand headlight is on the inside of the bend.
