Headlight adjustment
 

OK, I give in - where is it? Need to adjust vertical beam - higher please!

I've tried the black plastic hexagonal adjustor thingy above the wiring on
the central bulb connection and I've tried the white hexagonal plastic
adjuster thingy behind and below the central bulb wiring connection, but
nothing moves!

Thanks,
GT

Well, on the 116 it's a sort of fluted knob. On the GT I press a button.

Can't recall what you drive ;)

A 156, as I recall.

Thought they all had electric adjusters.

156 does indeed. Or at least both mine did.

Ah - that would have been useful info! Sorry its a 2002 156 2.0JTS. Facelift
interior. Old exterior.

Electric adjusters - how do I use them please! I have the standard adjuster
on the dash "0-1-2-3" for adjusting when car is heavy and pointing at the
sky, but I have not other cockpit adjusters.

Indeed. 0 being the highest, 3 being the lowest. Counter intuitive, a
bit, but weight in the back forces the front up, thus the lights need to
come down.

I'm set on zero already. Can't I adjust the headlight beam pattern under the
bonnet somehow as well? (As in the allignment adjustments for MOT)?

Possibly, yes. Damned if I know how though, I'm afraid :( Is it not in
the manual?
