Title: People keep flashing me!
Post by: Fatleg on 30 January 2007, 23:36

Can anyone help?

At night I keep getting flashed. Obviously they think I have my full beam on, and I'm sick of flashing back saying, "No I don't! See!".
Anyway, is there an easy way to check/adjust the alignment of my head lights? I bought the car private and I'm assuming the the lamps are of the correct spec.

Cheers

The only 100% sure way of getting the height and alignment checked is to take it to a garage where they can do it all properly.

I have had a look and could only see a dial for dash board brightness.
You sure there is one?

Not sure. I don't know much about Golf's, any car for that matter. Is a RHD like a accessory kind of light? As far as I can tell they are standard, or are you refering to the lamp itself?

RHD= Right Hand Drive...i.e. are you headlights the correct fitment for your vehicle? where they on the car when you bruaght it? :smiley:

If you have the control for headlight height adjustment it will be located alongside the switch for adjusting instrument brightness - looks the same, a wheel that turns.

Have you got foglights or full beam on all the time?

Best thing, put in front of a brick wall, lights on, at night and you will be able to tell if they are aiming too high, then just adjust appropriately.  :wink:
