Default hmmm puzzled!!!!!

ive noticed since driving the Cossie that the headlights are as bong eyed as i dunno what, one shines towards the kerb and other ones in the sky and weve taken em apart, and was just wondering

HOW THE HELL DO YOU ADJUST MORETTE HEADLIGHTS

theyre making night time driving on dark roads practically impossible, even worse if its raining,surely there must be somewhere you can adjust them, the ones on my cough*corsa*cough could be adjusted the same as a normal headlight, there was a screw hole in the top of em to adjust em, but none anywhere to be seen on the Cossie ones

anybody shed any light for me please before i write the damn thing off

Sarah

are there 3x 10mm bolts holding the lamp onto the plastic bit?

if they the same as my mk6 escort ones then they are on springs, loosen/tighten them as appropriate and it should adjust the beam.

As Dan said: my S2 quads had bolts with springs on that moved the lens up & down/ left, right.

Thought so, I lost some of mine on my mk6 escort and just replaced them with ones I had lying around, worked perfect.
