Headlight Adjustment

[Darren555]

My offside front dipped beam is a bit high. Anyone know how to adjust it?

Cheers in advance,

Darren

don't they have a grey coloured turning knob on the top of the headlight adjuster?? should have a hexagon shape inside the grey knob

There is a white dial on the back of the cluster that adjusts the alignment but it could be that the servo needs adjusting, take out the servo and you can adjust how much the arm reaches out (the more it reaches out the higher the lights are).

Hope that helps.

I have adjusted the dial but it makes no difference at all.
Where exactly is the servo and how do I adjust it please?
I have already lost most of the skin off my knuckles. I have realised one of the drawbacks of a big engine in a little engine bay
