Converging low beams
« on: 16 August 2009, 20:29:53 »
Are low HID beams supposed to converge ever so slightly or should they be dead straight ahead. Reason for asking is that there appears to be no way to adjust them vertically (side to side).

There are two marked/labelled adjusters on my headlights.  ;)

Would that be the inner hexa adjuster on top of the light?

No it isn't. There is a black protuding plastic lever which will allow side to side vertical adjustment.

You can adjust HID's manually both verticaly and horizontaly, BUT if you have Low beam warning adjustment is almost useless cause no matter what you do the result (vertical adjustment ) won't be good and lights will still be to low

I know that the Hella headlamp allows vertical movement, but does anyone know for sure whether the DEPO one does as well? Couldn't immediately see any lever for DEPO lamp.

You're not looking for a lever, it's an adjuster you want to find ;)

Sorry, I meant horizontal adjustment. Can you adjust the DEPO headlamps horiziontally - side to side? (Vertical is readily apparent).
