y are my lights sooo low??

[downs523]

when i have my lights turned on at night they seem to be really low down on the ground and its hard to see in dark country roads without putting full beam on?? can they be realigned??

 

[Dash]

Do you have an adjuster wheel on the right of the steering wheel?

 

[Pete]

Auto adjustment on the rear beam could have come off or you've lowered your car.

 

[Pete]

Oh and yes they can be realligned fairly easily by a garage with the correct equipment by turned the white allen adjuster on the back of the light unit.

 

[downs523]

the car has been lowered for months, but the lights have only started to be low in the last week???

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

ALso, bear in mind you'll probably get through bulbs quicker if you're running coilovers as they shake the car more? I've changed 9 or 10 bulbs now on mine.

But, you may have xenons so ignore that lol.

its all to do with you lowerin your car. ad had this problem on his car and you dont need to take it to a garage its a piss easy job to do. all you need to do is have a fiddle with the white dials on the lights under your bonnet. park your car against a wall and adjust them up a little. easy.

Ding!

I did my Xenons the other night due to my extreme lowness! Use a Allen key in the white adjuster. Turn right to raise.

Like Pete said mate, it's your auto-adjustor on the rear beam.

Mine did the same and went really low, I could see that the arm had broken.

I had it replaced under warranty.

what does it look like, i might have a look under the car 2moz to check if mines ok

 

[Dan 172]

It's just infront of the rear beam on the passenger side.

It looks like a small motor with an metal arm attached to the beam.
