Title: Headlamp adjusters (levers)
Post by: alfie on 03 January 2010, 11:29:22

Hello everyone,the levers inside the lamp unit,,does anybody know the correct position for them, up or down.
I,m sure that I read a question about this last week so I checked mine,1 up+1 down,no wonder my lights are useless.
                    Thanks for any info
                         Regards Alfie.

If you mean the metal arms then they should both be up, and if they are projector headlights (non xenon) then pick up a pair of nightbreakers off eGay :y

..............of course the lever position assumes that the adjusters inside the headlamps have not broken -in which case buy new headlamps
