The febiPLUS range from parts specialist febi offers many exclusive articles to the aftermarket which are often considered to only be available from the vehicle manufacturer or OE supplier. One prime, in-demand, example of this at present is febi 185325 a headlamp adjuster kit to fit the BMW 5 Series (E39). 


Even the newest E39’s are now twenty years old, as these cars were made between 1995 and 2004, however, they are still very popular on Irish roads and were one of the favoured vehicle imports from the UK for many years.   

With twenty years plus on the clock, it is not surprising that these cars have high mechanical and electrical failure rates, with one common issue being headlamp levelling. 

A problem with the headlamp levelling system on the E39 can mean NCT failure, so it is always worth checking if the car if it is in for other work. If one or both of the headlamp adjusters are broken the beam will float around, not only making it difficult to see when driving at night, but potentially also blinding oncoming traffic.

The adjusters are made from plastic and over time the headlamp’s hot and cold temperature cycles, combined with the effects of road vibration, causing them to become brittle. Eventually there is insufficient tension between the screw and the adjuster and total failure occurs, resulting in a headlamp beam that moves around uncontrollably.

febiPLUS 185325 Headlamp Adjuster Kit includes all the necessary components to repair one headlamp, making it an economical repair solution when compared to replacing the complete headlamp unit.

These kits are available from febi stockists.
