Headlights beam high up 2012 facelift

So as you know these lights are suppost to self level, however its a facelift on a 54plate. Without going to a garage is there any way of altering them as they feel high when driving on the motorway you can see the lights hitting higher signs

I have read others posts on search. On older lights you can use an allan key and the newer lights posts result in goto dealer as its in warentee

No they dont support self levelling its one of the wires that becomes a spare after conversion. I asked this question after doing my own conversion. Apparently you can adjust via a number of screws although I havent done it yet. Hope that helps Thumbs Up here is my post on the very subject

I was going to bring it to a kwik fit or similar as they could line it up correctly. Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

Guys, its very easy to do... Open the bonnet and look at the headlamps, there is two allen key head adjusters. One for height (the outer one closest to the wing) and the other one is for L & R adjustment Thumbs Up

MOT failure if they're out of the permitted range.

Best thing to do would be to take them to an MOT station and get them to line them up for you on the rig they use to check them in the test........... Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
