alligning headlights

[welsh.Z.S.]

hi i bought brand new xenon 172 headlights today and fitted them , but its a t**t to get to the adjusters on the back with them on the car .. ??

Yes it is.

Spoiler

That's not very helpful is it. sorry

^^ lol. are they not the same as halogen ones then??

Are the "adjusters" the white-ish circular dial? I presume this adjusts the angle at which the beams point?

Why are they a tw4t to get to ? Adjust them with the white adjusters using an allen key . Don't quote me on this , it's been some years since i adjusted mine , but i'm pretty sure you have to adjust them with the ignition in the on position , if you don't they re-adjust themselves as soon as you turn the ignition on .

Yeah thats the same for halogens but are xenons different??

Different in what way ? These are xenons in the pics . And the white adjusters are what i used to adjust mine . These adjusters are for up and down . I think there " might " be 2 more adjusters for side to side adjustment ? I can't remember off the top of my head now .

Sorry lol i thought they were halogens in the pic, didnt read your whole post.
Thats how i adjusted my halogens and was wondering if xenons had the same adjustment because i want some.

Easy to do park up in front of a wall or something and use an allen key on the white part to adjust up or down.
