blingrhino · 12-15-2009, 07:26 AM

hi my dipped xenons are too high -blinding other drivers, is there any manual way of lowering them.
the handbook says they adjust automatically????

There are two screws per light unit, one for horizontal and one for vertical, but I'd take them to a local friendly garage and get them set on a beam setter.

Any MOT place will do it. The beams do dynamically adjust when driving but the overall height and aim is still set within the limits by a manual adjustment.

I'd drop into a local garage and ask for it to be done; depending upon how friendly they are, a 'drinks voucher' for the tech should see it done, otherwise its a £45 job at a dealership.
