can the lights on my mini face lift mig be adjusted for contnental driving or do i have to put those stupid stickrs on them?

[TheBoy]

HIDs - adjustable for a 'neutral' position

Halogen - stickers

[Jimbob]

yes, there are little levers on the back of the lights to adjust them.

light is poor once adjusted though.

check your book for the correct positions 

think this is only hids and projectors though....dunno what you have

gls has halogens

[Jimbob]

if you need stickers...

ive heard a very light smear of vaseline over the lights 1st will allow them to stick well enough for short term, but come off easily....

never tried it myself though.

[TheBoy]

double check for levers, JImbob has me doubting what I said now

[stuthespread]

I put stickers on mine this summer. Sticker came off ok but the glue needed a combination of Jif, autosol and elbow grease. I did end up with much clearer lenses though. Even so, nice tip about the vaseline.

If I still have the car next summer I dont think I'll bother with stickers. It's not like the headlights on a 1999 gls are going to dazzle anyone.

In the 90's I used to do a lot of driving 'over there' for work, sometimes out and back twice in a week. I never bothered with stickers then, but if I got flashed from oncoming traffic I adjusted the range down a bit.
