Put some new decent bulbs in today and noticed on the way home the beam appears to be too low and out of line from how I think it should be, does anyone know how to adjust the unit so the lights point a bit higher?

The adjustment switch inside is set to 0 ie highest they will go.

The light units themselves will have adjusters on them but first make sure you have seated the bulbs correctly as they could be on the piss.

Thanks, they look seated correctly, but the beam is way too low, although they are brighter bulbs so it may be that I just haven't noticed before!

Bulbs sat in nicely now, beam aligned, looked awesome when taken for a play tonight, 130/80W bulbs illuminating the hedgerows of my private track beautifully.

Back to 60/55W for the road journeys... cop
