Title: Help!! Headlight beam level
Post by: WhiteRussian on 12 September 2010, 00:28:55
Hi guys,
 I know, for most of you my problem will sound easy, but anyway, can`t solve it.
 Had purchased online one of this lamp units-
-----------
 `Depo autolamps`
 OMGAB 98-99
 head lamp unit h1/h7 ece elec 12v
 442-1119r-rd-em
 hl2302

-------------------------------
It did fit my y2000 Vauxhall Omega facelift model,it
does work, only problem - it does not have the socet for `control rods` plug.Or what else the another cable with 4 pins is for? The previus one has that socket, on this one -only one , round one. As far as i understand i should calibrate them manually them? , but i cant figure out how do you do that?
The beam from the light unit goes right to the ground, well, way lower than it should be.Than it was on one before for sure.
Could u please give me an idea how can i do that? Spent some time looking online- can`t find it. Maybe some online manual, or foto.
 Please help. Thanks.

 but when i spin them the back part of it spins aswell and there is no any effect, beam goes strait down,can not belive that its a right way,you can see top of the bea not more than 1m away at the front of  car, doesn`t help at all during night drive :(.

Copied form the same link you have given:


A final thought is that there are levers on the back of the lights (remove the rubber cup) and these adjust the beam for contintal driving. They may be in the wrong position. On a UK car for UK driving they should be as follows. Driver side down Passenger side Up

Hope this helps.

These Drpot lights have been mentioned before.

I do believe they are intended for Left Hand Drive cars.  :-/
Title: Thanks for replays guys.

 Well, there`s no  levers on the back of the lights, the front ones spins with the back part,doesn`t help, not really getting what are they for at all for then. My last hope is for reply from manufactor, in my books if it came stright from them, brand new they must react on my letter. Must be a way. :-?
