Headlamp alignment

Postby thaphatty » Mon Apr 12, 2004 7:54 pm

Went for a drive last night and noticed my full beams are way out of alignment and was wondering the procedure for re-alignment. I've heard that this is a pain to try and get right. the car is a ae85 levin. any tips?

cheers 8)

If you know where the adjustment knob is just pull up the car to a wall and chuck the lights on and fiddle away till its right.

If you dont know where the adjustment knob is...find it and then follow above directions :)

Not sure about ur car but with Mondeos they have plastic screws on the headlights, playing around with that (with ur lights on) should fix ur problem.
