Xenon problem



  R34 GT-R & 172 Cup
Was adjusting my lights tonight as they are aiming too low, went a bit too high and now i cant adjust them down they seem like stuck.

I have tried messing with the rear adjuster on the beam and the white little allen key nuts but nothing.

Any help please.

I had this EXACT problem... Couldn't drive at night for days!

Took it to a specialist and they replaced the rear sensor on the axle (which wasn't faulty...) but it was only like £2 or something.

Anyway, basically I'd wound them out to far and the arms had popped out of the adjuster, therefore they were pointing REALLY high and wouldn't go back down. If that makes sense. (The little electronic adjuster with the white alan key on top pops out of the unit (apparently), and you'll see there's an arm that goes inside, this is meant to be connected somehow.)

The same garage fixed it for me that replaced the sensor. They did it for free, although they said it was a pain in the a**, so I'm pretty sure they wanted to charge for it!

Hope this helps, even though I can't tell you how to fix it! lol

To be honest, if I'd have known I'd have taken the lights out and had a proper look my self. I'd imagine it's only difficult when they're on the car because you can't see what your doing.

If you do manage to get them back in I'd probably go to a garage to get them aligned so they're not to high.

I'm sure I've read somewhere on here that the end of the rod just "pops" in to the back of the lens.

To be honest I was kinda hoping one of the gurus would have jumped in and re-worded my awful explanations. Lol

My bulb went today, just confirming a 172 cup doesn't have xenons, just normal bullb?
