I have had this, lift the car and get the sensors in the voltage range. Takes a little bit of guess work, I guess doing it on a lift would make it easier.

Thanks for the help guys, I will give this a go tomorrow. So both front and rear voltage ranges need to be at 2.5v

Also if someone could confirm there stored head light range adaption values, mine are:
channel = stored value
01 = 1
02 = 0
03 = 0
04 = 46
05 = 2
06 = 1
07 = 1

I don't remember there being anything that you can change in the adaptation of the xenon range. I think those values are just what the results of the basic settings are or garbage.

You probably misheard. She speaks funny. I think she was making a reference to your height.
