Beam pattern flip switch.
After searching the forums, I learned that the projectors have a little switch next to them to flip the beam pattern. Found some pictures of it aswell. I couldn't find it last night looking for it. Is it only on the stock projectors or do the Valeo ecodes have them as well? My passenger light shines about 5 feet in front of the car on the ground. pulling up to a wall the headlights are aligned but the passenger one shines more at the ground. any suggestions? Thanks

the feature is on the b5s. it is also on the valeo ecodes
but it will completely flip the beam pattern. you may only need to re-align your headlights. flipping the pattern will do this:
____/---------- ____/-----------
to
----------\____ ---------\____
if that makes any sense. the switch is also inside of the projector. you have to take off the cover. its next to the low beam bulbs

don't flip the switch unless it's on the wrong pattern. when driving on the right side, you want
the right side of the pattern of each light to be higher. otherwise, you'll blind oncoming traffic.
It sounds as if you just need to aim the headlight higher, which is in the owner's manual.

Yeah, i thought it was a vertical flip...
and not a lateral one. I have aimed my lights and the cutoff lines match up. Its just the passenger light shines on the ground. If i raise the aim of the passenger light it just moves the cut off higher and doesn't do anything about the light on the ground.
