Well I took my car into the Jag Dealer regarding my hids headlights pointing low, and they tried to charge me $500 for some computer program, plus new sensors. They recomended me If I really wanted to solve the problem, I need to get new assemblies for $3000 incl labor. People there were very rude and arrogant.I called Jag customer service, and they say Select Edition doesnt cover Headlights period. However It says this in the Select Edition Passport Book that "Headlamp Aiming" is not covered but doesnt say anything about headlights themself which is completely deceptive.My dealer stated that also. While some people state they got their headlights replaced under Select Edition, Its not working for me. I would love to go to your dealership to get mines replaced under Select Edition. Jaguar is really messed up, its a shame. Everyone has the same problem with the Xenons Headlightspointing to the ground, and auto adjust or sensors keeps breaking. You can even look on Ebay, and every S-Type Headlights the auto adjust is broken, or sensor is. They know that this is a problem, but they refuse to fix it under warranty, and wants to charge hundreds of dollars, plus all these rediculous diag fees. I didnt pay them either after arguing with a idiot manger at the dealership. Nevertheless you have to take the entire bumper off to change the bulbs or to have better access to the headlights. My Mercedes Benz I could do work under my hood, change bulbs in seconds. WithMB CPO Warranty Plan I never get charged any Diag Fees, all my bills read $0 and things not covered under warranty my MB Dealeship made them cover it.Only reason I bought one is because of the high performance model S-Type R, andI got a crazy deal on it. But Now Im on the verge of going back to Mercedes Benz, where I dont deal with these problems, and the dealership covers everything under CPO, and all my bills read $0 and no diag fees. The last person who owned my car all their bills were pretty much $250-$900 and the car has Select Edition Warranty. I seen very few $0 bills. Everything else they paid huge fees which included diagnostic charges. A Jaguar is more complicated. Why they make it like that ? So they can steal more money from us by forcing us to go to the Dealership AKA ***********. This is rediculous. This maybemy last Jag I willown, and I am contemplating selling my S-Type R sooner than I thought. Now I see why people dont want a Jaguar. Any imput on this ?

Sorry to hear. Kinda makes me glad I don't have the auto adjusting headlights. All I ever hear is people complaining about them. I think I'm going to go aftermarket HID instead, but haven't decided on whether or not I am going to try and do anything about the projectors. I've heard some people retro lenses also with the HID lights for better output.

That would be me back to the original topic, sorry to hear about the way Jaguar has handled your situation. While I can’t say that I have the same problem, as you and a few others on these forums, I was able to adjust/aim my headlights quite a bit higher. You do not have to remove your headlights to adjust them, unless the top screws are stripped? At the present time, the headlights happen to be out the car so I took pics to show y’all where you can make the adjustments, using a 10mm socket, via the side screws. I guesstimate that you can adjust them about 3†give or take a few mm in each direction. Directly above the screw that I’m adjusting are the top screws, these allow access without having to remove the headlights, but for me since I had the headlights and I decided to utilize the back screws as they are easier to use. And if you do need to remove the bumper it isn’t that hard, just download the instructions, make sure you the right tools, and give yourself a couple of hours. Hope this helps.
