Yep, the left dip is facing where the right should be instead of left, and the right dipped beam is showing up the road in front of the bumper.I have found the knurly bits all I have to figure out is what does what.

Its a CDT Connoisseur Auto that I have just bought, I just don't understand how it got through the MOT like that and the wishbone bush was shot as-well plus the drop link gaiter was in half. Methinks that the fella that I bought it from must have a good mate who does MOTs. Still if you buy a car privately you are always going to take a gamble

If you have the high spec. headlights, they have a mechanism on the back to allow the dip to be changed from left to right for use on the continent.
From memory it is a small lever, but as it has been a while since I found it, I stand to be corrected. It may be that it was bumped during the service / MoT. |

It just cuts the top off the beam so it doesn't dazzle oncoming drivers.-- |

This is what the adjuster does. The flat edge state is for 'Continental driving'. The masking plate is blanking off the bottom half of the beam internally, but this gets inverted by the projector lens so bottom becomes top. EDIT: This shows how dipped HIDs waste around half the light they produce. TC Last edited by T-Cut; 26th November 2016 at 18:30.. |
