Cannot drive car in the dark



  182 Inferno
Yeah, so my headlights are w**k.

Do 182s not come with adjustable headlights? They're so low, it makes driving in very dark areas pretty much impossible!

Are there any others that are adjustable? I think I have Xenons in...

The auto levelling sensor is on the rear axle and breaks often. Check that as if it's disconnected they default to the shortest setting as if you have a very heavy load in the boot. Sounds like that's happened tbh.

Noo I haven't done anything to the lights myself, I've only had the car a month or so..

It isn't load as I just can't see much no matter what/who is in the car

Is the adjuster on the back of this actual headlight? The only one inside car is for this dash board.

I can post a photo of my lights, hold on

They're auto-levelling, you shouldn't need to adjust them at all. As above, try the sensor wiring at the back of the car.

Ah. That sounds convenient! Thanks!

Yeah, I will do.
My car is canny low like, could that have knackered up the sensor?
If your car is lowered, the sensor will be registering a fully loaded car, therefore adjusting the headlight to their lowest/shortest setting.

My adjuster broke at Oulton on Tuesday, I ran a little bit wide at Knickerbrook and went over the serrated curbs, it snapped the plastic connector off.
Is it a whole new unit or is there another cheap fix?
