STi Bug Headlight Adjustment
Just fitted some Osram night-breaker plus bulbs and WOW I can now see in the dark!
But I have noticed that the drivers side beam seems to be pointing too far to the left?
I have the adjuster in the car for height but can you adjust the left to right of the beam?
Cheers.

There are two adjusters one is up and down the other is left and right. If you look with a torch at the back of the headlight I think you need to be looking near the inner wing for the left and right adjuster. If there is a motor unit on with it then it is the up and down adjuster. The other one is in the top corner of the headlight near the radiator.

your pic shows passenger side headlamp but when you look at it looking at the ribs on the bulb cover you can see the other adjuster where the cable sheath seems to expand giving two points adjacent to the corrosive symbol on the battery. ( Too pissed to mess with photo's)

Had the adjustment done today by my local MOT garage and the n/s was a little low and to the left as I thought.
Saw the beam pattern on the machine and looked perfect, but driving with the lights on still seems off as before but not as bad????
Maybe I should go for a eye test?
