Help: Lighting

[HigtonA]

Hey,

I need someones help i have two problems:

1) When i have my dipped lights on and i shine it against a wall the passenger side is alot higher than the drivers side...
Does any one have any ideas on how to fix this asap? i dont want to be pulled by the police or anything?

2) In my interior on the heating panel one of the lights have seemed to have gone out! :? The picture below might help you understand

So does anyone know how to fix these problems as soon as possible,

Thanks in advance

yea your heater panel has bulbs in it and it looks like one has blown!!
so just needs a new bulb,

as for headlights, it could be that your bulb is fitted wrong or has come loose in the holder.
check and if its ok then there is an allen key (6mm) on the back of your headlight that allows you to adjust them up or down :mrgreen:

Is there a way of me changing it myself?

if u take the radio out then u should b able to get your hand up onto the back of the heater panel, then u will feel these little black square lugs- they twist and pull out and the bulbs will be clipped onto them

its hard to explain but il try and sort u some pics/instructions if u want

A "How To" will be great!! Only if you have some free time, what bulbs does it take so i can order some?

The near side light should be slightly higher anyway IIRC? Helps to light the lane better without blinding oncoming or something like that...

But it is quite badly out of line :/ I think i may have knocked something when fitting a bulb

My nearside light is higher than the offside too

Is it by a lot? Or just a little bit?

 

[Bones]

Quite a bit! Really noticeable from the light pattern on the ground

I thought the drivers side light was more dipped so oncoming cars would not get dazzled.. and the passenger side light was higher to get better visibility of the road side?

Just a thought..

I was thinking that too, but this is just taken the piss

Ive noticed this on quite a few cars, like when cars behind hit a bump there passanger side light shines brighter in my eyes than the driver side light.. same with oncomeing cars that are turning and stuff.. i should be fine, if many cars are the same then it must be some kind of legal thing for visibility on the passanger side..

 

[matbry01]

mine is the same to passenger side higher than drivers side

In regards to the headlights the likely hood of you getting stopped is minimal. A few degrees out isn't too noticeable, but you may get tugged if it looks like its running main beam on one side (where someone has just put the bulb in without getting it in the groves) So I really wouldn't worry about that mate, if its not working then its fair game!!!!

Did you manage to get one done?
