Just a quick question and I am sure techie would know the answer. I noticed the past few nights when driving that when I hit a bump in the road, which is often in London, it looks like the bulb in the headlight is loose as it seems to bounce the beam up and down. Am I making sense? you know, like when there is something loose in there and it is not securely held in place. Just wondering as I have never had "fancy" headlights like these before hehehehehehehhehehe:shrug:
 
don't know for sure mate but there is a sensor on the rear axle as far as i know that automaticly re-adjusts the hight of your beam so you don't blind people. normaly it is for when you get a good load in your trunk the rear drops en the system brings your beam down al little but i don't know if it reacts so fast it wil react on bumps and stuff. logic thinking let me say its not that system but a problem.
 
tbh they shouldnt be able to move as they are usually in very secure. however as m3rta said you have level sensors usually on the front and the rear. i would have thought so anyways as all the mazda and saabs i work on do.but ive never known them to adjust just from hitting bumps either. my dealer has only just turned seat so im not 100% sure how there system all works
 
Might well just want setting up properly with VAS, pop it back and get them to check for you.
 
I will do that. It doesn't look like it is adjusting while I am driving, just on a bumpy road it looks like the beam is bouncing as if a fillament ina bulb was broken. Wierd to explain and how do I show the dealer what i mean when it is daylight hahahahahahahhahahaha. this could prove to be interesting indeed.
