C5 X7 Headlights

Haha. Similarly I met an old school friend the other day and he had aged so badly he didn't recognise me!

My Xenon directional headlights on the X7 have a separate ECU for the lamp 'steering' and correction - supplied by data from the Height Correctors.

This can be a little confusing as the diagrams show a levelling motor for standard halogen lamps too. My understanding is that the hydractive suspension cannot compensate quickly enough for the pitching movements. They can level easily enough according to load as we know - so on metallically sprung X7s they have a load adjustment leveller switch on the dashboard under the steering wheel left side for that purpose only. It's my understanding that the pitching is then compensated for by the headlamp levellers. But to be sure you'd have to look and see if you can find them. They are item 15 shown below. This is for a C5 X7 with Halogens up to Nov 2010.



I may be wrong, as they may just be showing the headlamp leveller on this diagram for metallically sprung vehicles though.

Hi all, can anyone tell me how to remove the outer most bulb no 11in the diagram it looks like a h7 but I can't see the clips to remove it.

It's alright I got it
