Classic Headlamp Adjustments ?
 
HI,

I have just replaced the headlamps (crystal) on my classic. I did a quick 'make do' beam adjustment until I can get them done properly on the weekend.

The thing is, there are what seems to be, 2 adjustment screws. I assumed 1 is for vertical adjustment and the other for horizontal. Is this right as when I turn the horizontal screw, nothing seems to happen ???
Any ideas ??

Many Thanks

Bump for help !!!!:lol:

Just to clarify for you, the horizontal adjusters are 10mm hex heads with a posi-drive cut into the top:thumb:

Can't tell you why they are not working, may be you need to re-remove and check all the linkages:wonder:

they only move a tiny bit at a time

Yeah,
I had another go last night and it seems to be centralising now. The beam was really widely spread and really vague in front of the car....
I hate classic headlamps !!!

Yeah they are sh1te mate, mine where out of line for a few months until my MOT, use to often get flashed at night:norty:

They are still sh1te even though they are set up correctly now.:(

Just changed the bulbs in my sides and fogs for LED's, gonna try some in the headlights at the weekend, they can't be any worse:wonder: [and they look the dogs]:lol1:

Yeah the H3 in the fogs are very white and bright:thumb:

The H4's:wonder: I'll let you know at the weekend hopefully, Gotta be worth a go me thinks:D

The H4's have more forward facing LED;s than the H3's so,:thumb: we will see, or not:lol1:

smoked-wagon 17 February 2010 11:21 PM
Cool mate,

I'd appreciate it if you could let me know how you get on with those mate :thumb:

I need brighter candles !!!:lol1:

Glowplug 18 February 2010 10:42 AM
Well the fogs are a success, as bright as standard bareing in mind i've just taken out 130w halogens.

The only concern i have with the H4's is going from head to main beam.
