not quite where i thought, just above where radio panel should be, to the right of the 'bright' switch, in the highest position, but bear in mind the head lights are crap as standard on classics

Look at the rear of the heaqdlights, there are two electrical adjusters, one for each side. On those is a nut, IIRC, or an Allen headed bolt, which you can turn to adjust the lights.

Sorry, mine have been Morettes for so long now, I cant recall exactly how to do it, or which way to turn the bolt head......I only know3 it's easier than on Morettes

Before fiddling with these:
1) ensure electrical adjusters are working: shine lights on garage door and operate, check.
2) ensure headlights are fixed properly to car, seated properly.
3. ensure bulbs are seated properly.

Had to fiddle with my off-side headlamp today, after my brother-in-law was able to explain why people kept flashing me lately. Following him home one night, "Are you trying to light the night sky..?" he asked.

After a quick peek here on SN, I found the adjusters and did the necessary. Thought some pics might be useful for future searchers.

If ever these pics/links don't work, contact me direct and I'll check it out or email them over.
