Gs Headlight Problem

[Wicked_Lex]

I have noticed the headlight indicator is sometimes on but most of the time off. Sometimes the headlights wobble a bit, focusing closer to the car for a couple of seconds and then re-focusing out where they normally are. It seems to be independent of the indicator light. It’s more of an annoyance then a problem for now. Have any of you experienced this or know what causes it?

You have a car with HID lamps, and the assembly has a motor that automatically levels the light in relationship to the level of the car. The lights undergo a "self-test" when the key is first turned on and the headlights are on. The lights "motor down" and then UP for a few seconds, and center themselves according to how level the car is. They keep from blinding oncoming traffic when there is a heavy load in the rear of the car, and it tries to compensate.

Enjoy your HIDS...MANY folks would LOVE to have that feature.

Thanks, but it isn't when I first start the engine that I notice this, its after I have been driving for awhile. Do they do this periodically? Do changes in the terrain or oncoming taffic triger it? I thought there was something wrong because the automatic headlight leveling system warning light warning periodically goes on and off.

I believe this is normal. If the light stays on, then I think you have a problem.
