Title: Converging low beams
Post by: Omegadoha, Desert Member 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. ;)

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