Align dipped beams

Postby Russc » Sun 25.03.2007, 11:35

Morning all,

I need to align my dipped headlights after obviously knocking them a bit when replacing the bulbs (although lighting up the tops of houses does make for an interesting drive)

What`s the best process of doing it in daylight and which are the adjusting screws on the front of the pod.

Cheers

Russ

Russ, I recently did a complete stripdown and rebuild of my light pods - see here.
It includes pics and you should be able to see which the adjustment screws are from it.
Like M100TWO says though, make sure the bulbs are seated properly first.
Striking fear into the hearts of duplicate posts everywhere...! :P
