xenon adjustment
« on: 10 October 2009, 08:34:24 »
Does anyone know how to adjust the xenon headlamp for use abroad. There is a little lever to the side that appears to move sideways and is marked L-arrow R arrow but is not moving

Car is an omega cdx leather 2002 v6 2.6
Any help welcome.

With reference to the picture in the manual, my headlamps appear to be different,perhaps they are not xenon, they have a sticker warning of high voltage. The little lever is horizontal and will not move easily. Any other ideas?

The levers move up or down. The manual gives the position, but the correct position ends up with one up & t'other down. If the sticker warns of high voltage & they take a second or so to 'warm up', then you have HID's  :y  :y

Something's seized then, they should move relatively easily.  ;)

They move VERTICALLY ... do NOT apply any inwards or outwards pressure or you'll snap the internals !!


As said .. should move with light finger pressure only ... and the hardest part is getting your hand in by the battery.

As we go to France on a reguklar basis and I adjust the lights at the port I've moved the battery as far back as I can get it to give a tad more access.

With practice it only takes a minute or so .. :)
