Hi all, Could someone please let me know how to go about adjusting the level (up and down) of the front dipped headlights? Here in Northern Ireland they run a strict MOT program and the car failed due to the OS being too high and the NS being to low. Poke my head in but can not seem to locate and adjusting arms. Any pointers would be great - at a bit of a loss. thanks, NOBLE ps - search gave fcuk all info before any smart people start.

Try removing the grommet in the front wheel arch liners (cannot remember nut size) but nut behind adjusts the dipped head lights up and down. If I also remember correct (but don't quote me) put the car on a level surface, 10 metres away from a wall, measure the height to the centre of the head light, mark that on a flat surface 10mts away, measure down 120mm and the top of the beam of light from the lights should be at this point. I got told this by someone (or read it on here) but if I am wrong I am sure someone will correct me.
