stuey 0 Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Hi guys, have done a search on aligning my new headlights myself but couldn't find anything. I have also googled but found nothing useful so far. Any ideas?? Link to post Share on other sites
Petesvw 0 Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Hieght adjuster is easy to get to mate, just behind headlight!Don't forget they do need to be set to a specific hieght for the mot so they don't dazzle other folk! Ideally you need a beam setter, you got a mate in a garage? Link to post Share on other sites

dellert 0 Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Look in a haynes manual, does not have to be a VW one, any old one will do.they have a brief section in there, however you will struggle to do it, and a garage will do it in half the time. IMO more hassle than its worth, cos they will probably still be off and fail on MOT, if you DIY it. Line it up on a wall and mark the centre then drive back x amount of metres and it gotta be a small amount below the mark. I have never found a suitable wall and level surface!

Earwig 89 Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 It takes like 5 minutes to do. I would be suprised if a garaged charged you more than £5 for it.....?Mark. Link to post Share on other sites
