Faulty Xenon Headlights (S-Type) - Pics and Video

[dave_3d]

I have been plagued with this fault from new (amongst MANY others). That is 2.5 years of faults.

This week I left my camera in the car - took pictures most days as I start my car in my underground park place and one headlight is consistently too high.

Here is an animated gif showing before and after restarting my car. Note that when the lights are in the faulty high position how it lights up the other car's headlight:

And here is an animation showing the re-setting to prove that I have not altered the above image :

This animation shows the left light bouncing as it re-sets and I had to restart the car again :

This fault now happens on a regular basis. It just keeps on adding to the things that haven't worked on my S-Type.
