You must remember something, all modern cars today have the self leveling feature. Your headlights are adaptive Bi-Xenon, which means that when you slam the brakes and the front of your car dips, your lights lift up! And when you accelerate hard and your front end lifts, your lights will dip!

In my opinion, if manual adjustment doesn't work, it may need another module adaptation done.

point your car at a wall at night with the lights on. Reverse slowly. If the cutoff moves, something isn't working.

Good to hear!

PS: Hamad, every system in your car has it's own module ( ECU ) which from time to time needs to be reset, reprogrammed or even updated.

Your car is a series of ECU's feeeding into your main brain (DME).
