Xenon question
Chaps, may need to look at adjusting the beam on some xenons that have just been fitted.
Is it outer adjusters (ones nearest the wings) for up and down, up being anti-clockwise? I was told the inners are for horizontal. Varying answer online, who has the definitive one? Thanks in advance

Inner ones are for height adjustment. Outer ones are for horizontal adjustment.
Switch the lights on at a wall in the dark and play with the adjusters, you'll see the lights moving. |

Thanks Rick, inners are missing, so this could be fun. The drivers one has the wheel, passenger one is missing it all. I've been given the electrical block trick, so may try that. They are level (garage did it the other day and I think they snapped them, but they seem low.

It works and works well. I had the knackered adjuster problem with my old ZT, did the electric block "mod" and it stayed like that til the day I parted with it.

So if you have just the spling, grind a flat ege using a dremel, get a large inner from an electrical choccie block (after you've cut the plastic off). Pull the spline all the way out to take up the slack. Put the block over the spline and tighten, using loctite on the screw. You now have something to grip to rotate the spline and adjust the lamps.

Second one, had to do the block mod as we couldn't get the adjuster off the old lights to transfer across. Set up and now working. Had to wait until dark to set up the beam. Now going to invest in some good bulbs as I simply don't trust the ones fitted after the seller stiffed me with these..... rubbish

Should've fitted the bulbs while the lights were off, a lot easier 😎

Replacement cogs are available here to repair any broken adjusters: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373420943258
Depending on how worn the metal bar is that these attach to sometimes they can be hammered on in place securely, in some other cases where the bar is more worn these have to be glued in place. |
