Sorry, BMW tech doh,

Further to my post here:

The following issues have made themselves apparent:

It looks like I'm going to put my old ones back in.

Stuff I couldn't test until nightfall.

I have no high beam, I have it when I push the stalk forward but when I pull it back nothing.

When the lights are off if I pull the stalk back the standard xenon beam comes on but will not switch off unless I flick the light swith on.

Apart from that, being from the USA they are set for LHD beam, I have a funny feeling that they will not be able to adjust them.

Lovely as they are I get the impression this is an MOT issue not to mention getting flashed by drivers coming the other way.

Any BMW techs in the house?

Maybe get your headlight module reprogrammed and go from there. If that doesn't work then you'll have to look into getting a new headlight module as well as wirings.

Aren't you able to lower your driver side headlight beam? You should be able to. I could adjust them on all 3 of my Z4's.

Well that's the thing.

On my Old ones there was the switch inside the light that was meant for when I go abroad it wouldn't dazzle oncoming traffic, yet on the US one it doesn't appear to have the lever present.
