Adjusting Headlights on a 3rd gen

Hey guys, this was one of the MOT fails so need to get it sorted as they're too high.

How do you do it?

Is it an adjustment of the entire pop up unit, or is it just the position of the bulb?

Either way, what do I do??

Thanks!

MOT station should do that for you as a freebie during the MOT if necessary, IME.

Have a look in this thread though;

It's really not difficult mate. Pop the lights up, take off the black surrounds (3 screws on each I think..maybe 4) then screw in the bottom adjuster a few turns until satisfied.

Probo best to do it in the dark though, facing a wall at 10 yards or something..so you can see how much you are lowering the beam by.

Oh, and take a picture of the beams against the wall as they currently are first. Just so you have a point of reference for making sure they're lined-up correctly; relative to each other. If that makes sense?
