Headlight Adjustment?
« on: February 07, 2011, 08:37:52 am »
Was driving behind my Dad yesterday and when we pulled up at home he said it looks like one of my headlights is brighter then the other. I had literally just changed the bulbs last week, replaced both with brand new ones so checked I had clipped them all in OK and I have.

is there a way to align these manually? The GF's old ST you could put a philips screwdriver in and twist the levellers?

Thanks

You would be better off taking them to a dealer.

I once tried doing it myself and found that i was constantly altering them as i "thought" something wasn't right. In the end i gave up, went to a dealer (you need one that does MOT's) and got them to align them properly. Cost me £15 :happy2:
