Headlight aim wrong

[Carbon-Rain]

Is it possible to put the headlight bulb in the wrong way round? As the car failed the MOT on the Nearside headlight aim too low and the guy at the garage said he could not raise it.
Of course I changed the bulbs to Nightbreakers some weeks ago.

Yes it is possible. The muppet who owned my car previously managed to have them pointing to the sky.

Take them out and make sure the flat locators are touching. It will be obvious if you give them a wiggle.

yes most common problem i find on mots when they fail on headlamp aim. if the are fitted wrong you normally dont have a pattern though. i would check the bulb if its fitted right also check the adjuster is still attached to the reflector/lends had a few that have popped out.
