Title: Headlight adjustment.
Post by: stuart30 on 10 January 2009, 13:46:07

How do you adjust the direction of the beam (projectors)...seems like beam on nearside is over lapping with drivers side.

Beam height seems ok (well drivers side at least) just the direction seems an issue.

Seems like  /|

Maybe a silly question....i assume i need too wind out the left hand adjuster and wind in the right.

Or is it just a case of winding the right in.

Find a flat ish bit of ground and drive the car as close to a wall/garage door as possible with the lights on

Put a couple of marks on the wall/door where the two bright spots for the lights are.

Reverse the car back 3m or so and no adjust the lights so the bright spots are around 10mm below he marks.

As easy as that and passes MOt every time (and in reality is little different to how the beam splitter they use to test the lights works)
