Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

I've never had Xenons before so please forgive the ignorance. Is it typical for the Xenons to constantly be bouncing up and down (tiny amounts) as you are driving along a road? I notice this a lot because of the distinct light edge that the Xenons produce. I assumed the auto-leveling would prevent this. It's like they are shaking up and down as the car dips up and down.

POST 2Original post

To some degree it is normal, all my cars with Xenons did that; auto-level does not prevent it.

POST 3Original post

Henri Your lights should not bounce at all. However, in a stiffly suspended car like the Cayman, as the car reacts to changes in the road surface, the entire carmoves more abruptly than a softer riding car. Because of the very sharp (& bright) horizontal cutoff in xenons, those abrupt up & down car movementsmay appear to be bouncing lights when in reality its the entire car that's moving. In more softly suspendedcars w/xenons,like my A6, the movements are still present, but far less pronounced.

Dan's answer is the same conclusion I came to.

If you like we can swap. I'll trade you my halogens. /fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/thumbsup.gif
