Default leveling lights

okay I know my GS4, has the leveling light feature, but once I park on a flat surface, i look at the level thing on the headlights and there not in the middle there a bit off, should i adjust them or just let the auto leveling do it's thing? I always leave my lights on auto

Hmmm, I've noticed the same thing on my '01 430 ... i wonder if it's not leveling properly since it's not level when it's off ... I do think that my headlights point a little too low when they turn on ...

Actually I believe it's an 8mm, tighten it to move them upwards.

I had the same problem. The driver side was higher than the passenger side even though both sides level at the initial startup. I manually adjusted the said bolt behind the headlight and now both auto level perfectly.
