Headlight Adjustment
Hello, I've fitted my new crystal headlights because I was sick of not being able to see where I was going. I haven't had them cheaked in the garage to see if they are at the right height but I think the passager one is to high.
How can I adjust them, I have trying turning the screw on the back/top of the unit and nothing?
What is the big white box on the back? Is it of a motor if they were electric adjustable.
Thanks Claire

Then they must have adjusters. I had some aftermarket lights and they did. They are usually 10mm bolts that stick out of the rear of the light unit.
There are two: one sets side to side, they are closest to the inner edges of each light.
The other sets up/down, they are mid-centre of each light.
Stand it about 2m from a wall at dusk, put a socket on each in turn, wind it clockwise and watch what happens to the beam......write it down.
Then take it somewhere like a closed shopping centre after dark, stand it 10m from a wall and set them where you think, before taking it to a straight, level, deserted stretch of road and making final adjustments.
Oh, and in future, please post questions only in ONE forum. Trust me, you WILL get more and better answers
