Had a bit of a front end knock which managed to break the bolt lugs on my headlights, so I'm in the process of fitting a new pair. I've put one on and it seems to be aiming too high. I know you need a proper beam aligner to set up alignment correctly, but is there a rough way of setting up alignement. i.e if you park a certain distance from a wall, how far up should the centre of the beam pattern be?
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers
Simon
In response to what Nasixi posted in news:EZf_c.132221$ snipped-for-privacy@fe1.news.blueyonder.co.uk:
Main beam centre should be horizontal.
park another car the same distance from the wall mark the beam pattern with chalk move it out and yours in adjust to same pattern
depends on how high your headlights are. parking in 5 meter from a wall, the horizontal line should be 5 cm below the centre of your headlights. When swithching to bright lights, the centre of the light should be the same height as your headlights, i.e. the beam should be horizontal.
