Help with headlight adjusters, light sticks out, looks wrong

Post by Middle29 »

With a bit of twiddling I've got the new headlight adjusters in (old ones were glued in) The top/middle right one which is fixed and not adjustable makes the main light stick out pretty far which looks incorrect, especially compared to the drivers side. 

Does this look normal / correct? 

This is the passenger side of a LHD

MOT retest due in 2 days :shock:

Thanks, I did wonder about that but I haven't touched that one so was reluctant to move it from where it was already. So if the light I've reseated is correct then maybe I should adjust the one you suggest. I just wanted a double check...

Good stuff - thanks for the quick response. That adjuster is a bit kaput, the light falls back, so I'll need to pack it out temporarily for MOT I think. Mind you it's been passing like that so maybe I'll leave it for now. cheers
