Headlights problem!
« on: Mar 31, 2005, 09:57PM »
Fark! .. is there any way to adjust your front headlights and the distace they throw light? I was just driving along at night for the very first time in my new car, switched on the lights and it only displays within at a guess, 5 metres of the front spoiler? What the fuck is up with that. I'm used to seeing far far in front of me even without high beams.

Open the bonnet and there are nobs/bolts coming out the back of the headlights which adjust the angle of the beam.

^ what he said, they look like long sticks with bolts at the end of them... u can use a phillips to adjust them, use a wall and adjust them a little higher than what they already are, i THINK its about (park 4m from wall and it should be 1ft off the ground on the wall?) something similar...
What do ralliart do??? make stickers???

I looked in the FSM. It says park it 5m from the wall and adjust it so that the centre of the beam (on the wall) is 50 - 150mm lower than the middle of the headlight.

Do this on low beam and level ground.
