Default Classic headlight adjustment question ?

Had my car mot'd today,the guy said the headlights were way out of alignment and found they don't have adjusters on

Apparantly the lights that have been fitted to my car are from a model with electronic adjusters and I should have lights fitted with manual adjusters instead !

Anyone know if I can fit the electronic adjusters from a later model or do I need to change my lights for ones with manual adjusters ?

Here's the lights I have:

Unless those are aftermarket lights, which I can't tell from the photo, they WILL have adjusters, both up and down and side-to side, on them.

Your MoT tester doesn't know what he's talking about, I'm afraid: the elctronic adjusters are simply load compensators.

I'm not sure if they are genuine subaru lights or not as they were already fitted when I bought the car.

Just had a look at my mates '95 wrx and where his lights have a screw that you can turn to adjust the lights up/down,my lights have the hole blanked off so it looks like they have no adjustment
