Xenon Alignment
« on: 07 February 2008, 06:54 »
Hey everyone, i was drivin to work this mornin and noticed my headlight seemed brighter on the right....so, as im easily annoyed pulled up at the car park and stopped in front of a wall...and yup the right headlight was slightly higher!!! also the light wasnt matchin in otherwords...the light made on the wall dint match or luk symmetrical! How easy is it to re-align them? Cheers

If its xenon like in your post Ridge is the man to ask. Im sure there is screw next to the bulb which does it, will need to double check with him.

On the non xenon its pretty simple, there is a white circe above the bulb cluster with a cross through which you turn and its adjusts.

like Aland says there is an adjustment screw on the cluster, there are 2 adjusters 1 for vertical and 1 for horizontal.

IIRC its a T25 torx bit to adjust them, if you're sure that the passenger side one is correct, the find a flat surface with a wall in front and line them up that way.
