Xenons

Hi I have a 172 with the xenons, are these self levelling?

 

[Brett]

Yes.

 

[497adam]

Is there a way of checking if they are working?

 

[497adam]

Anyone?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Turn them on. If you can see in the dark, they're working.

Ha ha very good! I meant the self levelling

 

[Msphotographic]

is there any way to raise them abit as mine seem to sit proper low

 

[Dan@SJM]

You'll probably find the lever on the rear beam has broken off.

Ooo so theres an adjuster on the main stalk ??

Park it on a slope with the ignition on and you'll hear them trying to level. Just ignition though so you can hear the motor. Also you could if you can find a spot, drive from a flat bit, up a slope while facing a wall at night with the lights on, you'll see them adjust. There is no adjuster on the stalk. Not sure about the lights themselves, prob not I guess for safety so people don't get blinded.

You can see the light beam move up and down when you start the car with lights on.

 

[497adam]

Is there a specific way to set the beam then?

They can be adjusted manually, screw on the back of the light units.
