Manual Xenon Adjustment Q.

[jon_r]

If I want to manually raise the xenon's up a bit, is it the white allen key adjustment at the back of the lights, or the real awkward one tucked up in the wing?

Also, to go up, clockwise or anti clockwise?

Thank you :approve:

They both have access holes jon, can't remember which is which, just sit it tight against a wall for the light to beam on to and give it a little move on the allen key see which way it's moving, easy job.

 

[jon_r]

I tried to give it a go last night, but the adjuster I suspect it is, is an arse to get to.

Big hands you see

 

[Gally]

Pmsl, know what they say about a man with big hands!

I thought they both were easy to get to with the allen key. :S

White one Jon

 

[Tom]

Do it with them turned on. For a laugh.

 

[jon_r]

You're going to love this:

The arrows point to the 4 available adjusters. I'm assuming the up and down adjustment is the outer one?

Blocked by aircon pipes and fuse boxes!

 

[Tom]

You are such a girl.

 

[jon_r]

Not a bad paint drawing though eh? It's got a hint of Laguna Coupe about it!

 

[Dansta]

I did it with em on by the way lol!
As for the picture.. I have no idea. Can't picture em. It was the whitish looking plastic bit. (Technical term of course)

 

[jon_r]

All 4 are white plastic things Dan! lol.

(p.s. you coming next Monday evening?)

 

[Tom]

I have a funny feeling we'll be adjusting headlights.

Yay.

 

[jon_r]

Probably. I wanted to do it tonight though, got to do the M1 tomorrow night with 10 feet of vision otherwise!

 

[Tom]

prism ducktaped to the units?

 

[Steviant]

Just clean them plc

 

[jon_r]

I've cleaned them! The car is so low that they are pathetic! lol.

 

[Steviant]

I've cleaned them! The car is so low that they are pathetic! lol.

Couple of bags of sand in the boot?

 

[jon_r]

I might put an LED Maglite on the roof.

 

[Gally]

That was funny but verging on spam!

 

[richy22]

It is the outer most ones yes

edit I lie it's the inner 2 I think after looking at mine!!

 

[richy22]

Drivers one is directly under the aircon pipe

the outer one does full beam by the looks of it

 

[jon_r]

Ah, that's the inner on! Much easier to get to. Thank you.

 

[richy22]

I did mine the other week as my auto adjuster just kept making a horrible noise..unplugged the buggers and set them up roughly from a distance on a wall at work! I cant remember which way to turn them though

Only thing il say is make sure your on flat and far enough away from a wall to notice it (im sure you know that but just saying! )

 

[Dansta]

That be the one
I don't have an aircon pipe to fight with though

 

[richy22]

Ahhh you have an inferior model????

 

[Dansta]

No.. The faster one

 

[richy22]

he he!!

 

[fizzy_drink]

IIRC it should be the inner one... and should be easy enough (even if you have big hands, lol).

I remember watching clarkieV6 do it for me when I had a service...

 

[jon_r]

Sorted! Thanks chaps, think they're now a bit high, but will judge on how many people flash me!!

 

[Dansta]

Quality thing about retro fitting em is the headlight level adjuster control next to the dash light brightness adjuster still wold an now controls the Xenons.

a little late probably but hope it might help someone else on mine you can use a crosshead screw driver or allen key which would mean you could use a long screw driver rather than fiddling with the allen key very helpful for those with big hands
