Bought an S4 last week. The headlights seem to be set quite high, and a number of oncoming cars have flashed me, presumably because they think I've got main beams on. I think they are bi xenon lights. Is it just that they are very bright, or do they need adjusting? The manual suggests that if there was a fault with the lights then the onboard computer would tell me. Any suggestions please?

Get it all the time... I had them checked some time ago TADTS was the helpful reply. In part it is because the are soooo bright. But I also suspect the the self levelling system is poorly calibrated (don't know how it works though).

Xenon level system failures are common on S3 and S4. Take it in (or to somewhere else) and get it checked out.
