Hi guys I have a MY06 HSE and i have notice that the headlights level are off. The cut off lines are not as precise as they were before. I took it to the dealership three times and all three times they said it was fine. But i know its not. I guess my question is if there's a way to level the headlights? Also, I notice the light output is a lot dimmer than it was before, is this a common issue with the headlight or it's just a mental thing?

Do you have the adaptive lights and does the lights calibrate when turned on - swivels left ,right, then up and down - not sure of the sequence. Does the lights turn when you rotate the steering while driving?

If you have adaptive and the lights don't swivel - its the lighting control module.
Here is what I found on AllData to adjust your headlights
* With self leveling suspension, make sure the vehicle is at the standard ride height.
* The headlamp setting is 1.2 % below horizontal and parallel.
* NAS vehicles have vertical adjustment only.
1. Align the headlamp beam setting equipment to one headlamp.
2. Switch the headlamps on and to dipped beam. NOTE: NAS vehicles have vertical adjustment only.
3. Adjust the headlamps with a Philips screwdriver.
o Rotate the adjusters A and B by an equal amount for vertical alignment.
o Rotate the adjusters A or B for horizontal alignment.
