headlight cut off

slownfast · 09-04-2013, 01:09 AM

Guys, I am just wondering how the headlight cut off should look like. if you guys don't mind, can you guys send me the picture of your headlight cut off against the wall? I am just curious

I do not have the picture and I am still in my country so i cannot show you the photo of the cut off. I can show you how it looks like by using another pictures.

mine looks like this against the wall. should it be parallel?

Not sure about the 5 series, but that looks the same as the Xenon output on my e89.

The driver side cutoff should be lower to prevent blinding the on coming drivers, the light cutoff in the picture looks normal.

Driver side should be lowered? So i can assume mine is normal. Do you mind if i see your headlight cut off? Thank you

+1 This is true.

That cutoff is perfectly sharp and normal looking. Don't worry.

Eh? Well given mine is like yours, the assumption would be a) normal or b) we both have abnormally configured lights.

Which one do you think is most likely?

Looks pretty normal to me.

BigDeep1 · 09-05-2013, 06:28 AM

That stepped cut line is normal

I've not checked myself, but assume its the same with the lights in adaptive mode as opposed to normal dipped beam (unless your cornergin of course where they will move to the side a little.)
