LED Headlights pointing down?
I was doing some basic coding on the Bimmercode app the other week and I've noticed that my headlights are not illuminating as far forwards as they used to. They're now lighting up ~20-30ft in front of the vehicle and it's killing my night driving. It's been more noticeable during my commute since daylight savings ended.
Is there anything I may have screwed up while coding with Bimmercode? I didn't touch anything in expert mode..

If you did VLD, it will point down and wide for slower driving.

Yes, they go through the initial startup movements like they always have. And they still move left/right with the steering wheel.

I was looking intro VLD but did not code it. At least I don't think I did? I am second guessing myself at this point... Regardless, the light beam they are putting out just seems to be unacceptably low

Start the vehicle. Turn on the headlights, low beam only. Now toggle back and forth between low and high beams and observe the left headlight beam. Did it move to the right with the high beams on and then to the left with low beams? If so, you have VLD. You can also observe the beam moving when you toggle the fog lights on and off, or watch the left beam move towards center at 30mph. All of these are VLD movements.

If the headlight aim is too low, you can manually adjust the aim with a phillips screw driver. It's the white plastic screw on top of the light on each each side. You can raise the right beam a bit higher than the left beam so that you can see the traffic signs and things on the right side of the road more. Dont raise the left beam too much or you will get flashed by people going opposite direction as this left beam will blind them.
