Adjusting Headlights

should be in the archives somwhere coz this subject has come up a few times. but anyway forget the boards lines garages or whatever and drive down a little used road (at night) and throw your jacket over one light while adjusting the other then go for a quick drive to confirm you are happy with it then make any further(small adjustments. make sure you allow for the xtra weight you may be carrying up north
and carry a torch for finding the adjusting screws/bolts and make sure you know where they are and they are working and not seized as it is a pain mucking around with this sort of thing on the side of the road in the dark --- have a good trip

Maybe not but some of you are very cluey. Must be years of experience with 4b's.

You can get it pretty close using this method:

1) Find a vertical wall near a flat, level surface - driveway or carpark etc.

2) Drive the vehicle right up to the wall, and mark the exact position of each headlight on the wall.

3) Backup about 5 metres and adjust the headlights on high beam so that the brightest point of light is on the cross marks.

I always follow this up with a check as described above, but it will give you an acceptable adjustment on its own.

Cheers,
