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.

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. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) 116 Giulietta 3.0l Sprint 1.7 GTV TS GT 3.2 V6 Triumph Sprint ST 1050: It's blue, see. www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk |

Can't I adjust the headlight beam pattern under the bonnet somehow as well? (As in the allignment adjustments for MOT)? |
