    Xenon headlights on V70R too low

    Only had my V70R a few weeks & hav'nt driven it in the dark really until tonight, the headlamps are bright enough but they are pointing at the ground,really bad on dip,worse than my old 850R & you all know how bad they are on850's ! I read in the manual that they are self adjusting according to the suspension, anyone else had a prob with this as i need to get them adjusted to the right height as its well dodgy in the dark.

    Hi Simon
    when they up dated your suspension setting they needed to reset head lights or adjust 1 of the setting i think?

    Hi, If your car is the V70 Classic, I had the same problem, all I can say is, believe it or not its normal. The HIDS are so good you notice if they seem a bit dipped.
    I took my car to the MOT test station and they reckoned they were perfect.

    Its the latest shape V70 R.

    Manually adjusted the knobs with the headlamps on, had to turn them as far as they would go has made a difference but dip is still too low. Will have to put it back to where it was & take it to the dealer to reset the lights. Will resetting the lights make any difference to the suspension update they did last week, can they just reset the lights on their own ?

    Cheers Simon.
