Title: headlights sit too high
Post by: braderz on 08 December 2009, 18:49

both my headlights dipped beam are way too high (level with eachother) on the 0 setting, is there a way too adjust this, obviously without just dipping the adjuster!!

im sure i done something when i put uprated bulbs in when i got the car...

HI brad.
i think there is a white cog on the back of the lights that can be turened to move the beam. I have never done this myself but have only observed when looking at my car when messing around with it.

cheers for that im sure there is something there, i remember moving a switch of something that only moved 90 degrees. its locks at either angle i think that might be it.

That would be the switch that changes the beam pattern from RHD to LHD
