Be careful with the adjusters they can break inside the lamp unit if they are not already  ;)

Which ever way is needed to adjust the lights correctly. ;)

If they move up when you want down, turn them the other way. Unless the adjusters are busted internally of course, then turn them whichever way you like all day long they won't budge. No experience of this though, as, to TB's dismay, I have never had an omega with busted headlight adjusters except on my 2.5 which had been damaged and where later swapped for depo's which failed on the nylon wheels on the back.

I do have one old spare (known broken HID headlamp kicking about) i could practice on for the future if needed, Question is how do you re-seal the headlight once done?

When I did a mate's we found there was plenty enough of the glue to re-seal back. So long as you don't end up getting the thing covered in dust and fluff, you should be fine, in my experience. Some oofers may have done more, and found different,  and I may have just been lucky.  :)
