Hi,
I have a brand new S with no problems to speak of except I have noticed that i regularly get flashed at night by oncoming vehicles as though I was blinding them with the main beam which of course it isn't. I have xenon lights which right themselves automatically when i switch them on, but sometimes i notice that the dipped beam is too high and illuminates the interior of the can in front. Is this a common problem? If so how is it fixed.

Mike,

Are both of your autoleveling motors working correctly? I had one of my autolevelers stop working and the effect was very similart to what you describe. The dealership replaced it under warrenty.

Also, some people have not become accustomed to the color spectrum of Xenon lights and are going to flash you no matter what. . .
