Are my headlights okay?

[Paul_W]

Had a look from the front last night. Didn't look good



I parked a couple of car lengths from a wall and adjusted it myself. All looks fine now

Ha that is terrible! Where did you get the mot done?

[Paul_W]

A local garage. I went there because it's only a couples mins walk from work. I'll be going somewhere else next year

Hi All,

I am new to the forum and been for an MOT which failed for the n/s headlight aim too low. Dealer said they 'tried' to correct but new headlight required at a cost of £230!!! Lucky for me it's out of warranty

Anything to watch out for when I try to correct this myself?

Any help is much appreciated - Thanks!

Same thing happened on mine, re:my comment on 1st page of this thread, although the dealer just adjusted it. Not sure how the headlight got out of alignment like that, could have been a bad pot hole I thumped through some months previously.

Had my MOT just before the warranty ran out and the dealer had to adjust the nearside headlight for being too low. Not aware it had altered since delivery so must have been like that from new or the adjusting motor was faulty!! So much for pre-delivery inspections.

Thanks guys..

Think it was because of the damn potholes around here.. more like craters! Took the rubber cover off the back and pushed the little black interface box in which not only made the electronic leveller work but sorted the aim out too!

Retest booked for this week so hopefully should be positive!
