I will look into it very soon.
Also if the adjust screws ain't doing it, I will try to replace the adjusters inside the lamps.
Hopefully will this do it, or else I am out of ideas.

When adjusting the screws the beam hardly move, so I did have thoughts that something was wrong.
How much should the adjusters screws be able to move the beam on 3.5 feet distance?

So sorry Andy, I had looked at that very thread before but always thought the metal part were to replace the white plastic tip of the motors.
But I was wrong.
Maybe you are right Andy about that, I will order a couple and have a look but since the new headlights surely would have a couple of black plastic adjuster them self, can they really have broken after less then a year?
The headlights I bought from Germany was completely new.
But I recall that I could move the reflector from the very start, maybe it never were attached?

Thanks for the replay Andy B.
Well my adjusters aren't broken and my adjusters looks like this:

Hoepfully that clears it a bit.
Those I have inserted right now is like dubbel the size since they are Xenon I guess.

Hello, I've got a problem with my Omega B Caravan -99 GL 2,5 v6.
When I bought it it had Xenon which I assume was factory installed but I am not sure (The lamp controller lacks the level adjuster which strengthens my beliefs that it was factory installed)
A bit after I got it, I installed a couple of new headlights which I bought from Germany but these didn't have Xenon so I had to use the same lamp adjusters as I had before but got new bulbs.
But after that the lamps are aiming in strange directions, not straight forward as expected.
I have tried to adjust it with the two screws that are to adjust the hight and the lateral of the beam.
Anyway, its high time for the cars first survey and since the beam is way of I am very sure that it won't pass.
I was at the junkyard and got a couple of new adjusters from a sedan Omega and from another Omega Caravan and they both looked smaller but none of them were alike each others strangely enough.
So I got 3 types of adjusters and I was wondering which one should I got with?
Is there anything I've missed? Why is the beam so f**k up?

Best regards
Java

The point of the cams were performance but the chip said to be economic which is why i presumed that it should be cheaper, if I get more power thats fine by me

I'm back, right now I've taken out the box and located the chop which I want to replace. There is one small problem, it has a yellow plastic shell around itself. Should I break it of or should I be careful so I can reuse the shell?

Edit: Got it of and put the new chip on. Cant really say yet that I can notice any "lower" fuel consumption. I my world, it seems like the car goes faster and consumes more but I don't know...

Will that chip be "confused" when I've inserted the new camshaft from X30XE motor? Since the chip is designed for X25XE so to say, or?

No, easily within the scope of a d.i.y orientated person.

If you are unsure or not confident enough, Darth Loo-Knee, or many others on here will happily do it for you for folding beer vouchers!!

*edit* dunno where "Lund" is, and seeing you call an estate a caravan, assume not in UK. This job is relatively easy, you must get the torque settings for the parts you need to remove, but the last ones I personally did took me about a whole day to do, from drive in to drive off. The Haynes or other manuals have a good section on pictorial assembly, so would buy one of those publications. Essentially you should have a good torque wrench, and a socket set including "torx" male and female types of sockets.
Take a deep breath, its really not that difficult.

Lund my friend is a city in Sweden, very close to Malmoe if that rings a bell. Well I will have to give it a try all though I won't do it myself. Hopefully will my father-in-law help me out. Thanks everyone for your great responses. I will come back when I've both chipped and fitted the new cams into the car!

Like I said, bought a chip and looking for camshafts now so lets see if I'll manage to put in a new camshaft. I presume its hard as hell for someone with no talents, right?

Hmm sounds to good to be true. So no need to change sensors or anything like that?

Many people talk about changing the cam but talked to my brother regarding that and (hes a the new kind of mechanic. Plug in the computer, change the part) and he told me to really look up that the motors had the same technical specs. if I wanted to change cams, or it could go bad.

Lets compare 2.5 V6 and 3.0 24V, they both have 24V but does anything but the cam differ between them?

Because who doesn't keep an ECU in the kitchen.. 

Haha that's funny  Thanks so damn much for the great pcitures TheBoy. Now nothing can go wrong

Lets ju hope the one I hopefully will win on eBay is as good as those you got. In my world is the chip the same but the "workhours" is the difference in price.
