Headlamp alignment mystery - advice please
I'm looking for some feedback to see if anyone else has suffered "spontaneous headlamp misalignment syndrome"...
Basically driving home last night I noticed the cut out on my lights, where the beam pattern drops down on the cars centerline, didn't look as sharp as normal. I checked this morning on a white painted wall and my righthand HID looks misaligned... There is no possible way that the car has been hit whilst parked so I am at a loss to explain how the light could get this way on its own.... has anyone else had this problem? My gut feel is that it could be a fault in the self-leveling lights system on the car (I'm in the UK)
Thanks!

Since you drive on the left side of the road in the UK, the driver's side headlight should be lower than the passenger side, so as not to blind on-coming drivers. Just the opposite is true in the U.S. and other countries that drive on the right side of the road. If your alignment doesn't match this, a trip to your dealer may be in order.
