low beam fld/vision

maybe it was.
no need to get cute, i was merely passing on info given to me by the Vx stealer when I enquired as to what the fault was and why my headlights suddenly point at the ground instead of where i'm going.

they were actually fairly forthcoming about what it is, how it works, and what it does and why....    which, admittedly is rather unusual for  a dealer.....

Moi!?

Like wise , although it wasn't actually at the dealers - the technician came to me.

The servos are on the back of the headlamp and connect to the reflector via a ball & socket type arrangement
I have an O/S Xenon Headlamp complete with Servo & the Power pack for 1999 if you are interested

Where would you stand having tech2 adjust the field to give better view? are there many settings for this?

I ask because the wifes facelift has massively better lights than the mv6  (yes both HID before you ask )

As I'm at the dealer plugged into tech2 anyway next week, thought I may try and blag an improvement, if I know what to ask for that is.

In old terms it's like my headlight adjustment is at '2' compared to '0' on her's

No Tech2 adjustment. There is a calibration function that should be carried out.

Presumably yours are set to UK setting, not the flat 'universal' setting (which is lower) - double check the levers as per handbook...

Should have thought of that, esp as the car came from 'down south' so could well have been used a bit on the continent.

I belive the expression is 'doh!'

You are a genius!

Got the book out, and there are some biro marks from someone making notes!
Opened the lights and they are set as per the settings in the book, ie continent settings!

Made the change and they look better as far as I can tell in the light, will try properly later.

I Love this place!

We love easy (if you have small hands!) fixes , so here's hoping thats cured it...

[Jimbob]

Large hands not a problem here.

Whoever did this liked the brute force approach, the 2 plastic covers above the lights 'wrenched' off and just resting on the top!

Was a van parked in front of me, 1/5 - 2 meters away
Pattern of the lights went from  -  - to more like /  \ and seemed to illuminate about 2 inches higher up the van.

will add a couple of those securing clips to my shopping list!
