headlight issue

[Cowbwoy]

Does anybody else think that their dip head light beam sits very low? I really struggle to see where I'm going sometimes. I'm wondering if it's just a Clio 172 Ph2 issue or if my car's lights aren't set up properly.

On my 200 they are like 3meters in front of me absolutely crap when you doing 70mph down the motorway and a badger is in the middle of the pissing road..

Same here, I'm wondering if itmight be something to do with the fact trhat it has been lowered? The M.O.T I can't vouch for as it was done before I owned it.

Just had them checked at an official Renault Garage and they were a long way out. Too low to get through any M.O.T. so my suspicions have been confirmed, the previous owner could not have put the car through a genuine M.O.T. All sorted now and all the other vitals have been checked an sorted.

Have you had it on clip and had the headlights readjusted and the height sensors reset?

Haven't you got a little adjuster wheel down by the esp/cruise control switch?

If you have Xenon lights there isn't an adjuster wheel , they are self levelling . It's only the 172 cups that have adjuster wheels in the car iirc ?

Ah sorry, didn't know that. Mines a 182 Cup and has one, so thought they all had them.

I'll get me coat.

It's as MRBILLYUK stated, it was an actual mechanical screw/bolt that physically needed turning to alter the unit. All road legal now as it was done to M.O.T. spec.
