Manual Headlight Adjuster?

[Chapster5]

Where is it on a MK2 PH1 clio? I dont know what im suppose to be looking for. I have put night breaker bulbs in (H4) and the passenger one seems higher than the drivers one when im behind someone on the reflection on their cars my passenger one is much brighter!


Cheers Guys

Passenger bulbs are supposed to be higher as they won't dazzle oncoming drivers as much and also light up the curb for driving on the left.

Ohh, right it just looked odd because you see all other cars the ammount of light coming out of the headlight is even

The amount of light should be the same as its the same bulb but just projected slightly different. If ever you drive on a dark road you should notice how the passenger light reaches out a little more down the road and lights the curb up more. It's part of a mot check I believe.

They're white crown shaped plastic screws IIRC, adjust with a screwdriver.

If you suspect they're out, your friendly MOT test station will probably be happy to stick them on the tester and adjust them for you. I even had mine done for free!

The left bulb also has the job of illuminating roadside signs too.

Yeah I would if the brightness seems the same and the levels will look different on the back of a car.
