Headlight

Hi, I hit a bad pothole today and after checking my tires and finding one sidewall split I noticed the drivers headlight is shining down. Does anyone know where and what do I check? do these have self levelers in them? thanks

Do you still have your R56, if so posted in wrong forum ?

If you have the R56, those headlights were known for breaking under harsh pot hole hits....sorry, not usually fixable.

Its light out now and I removed the cover on the back on the light and saw a finger like tab that is broken off inside the housing. I may try gorilla glue then reatach the spring after it drys.

The xenons have self levelers. You can tell when you turn them on they go up and down a couple times.
