head light adjusters
« on: 29 March 2011, 19:34:29 »
Looking at previous for above.Mine seem to be manual? Is it possible the adjusters can snap in these.Mine are far too low.Turned for ages but no movement.

yes, self levelling, and aim are 2 very different things, yes they snap.

(and no, you wont hear a motor for those  :-X)

does the reflector rattle round the lens?  if so, you need new adjusters - see sticky in parts for sale.

Check to make sure your Adjuster aren't US!
Common issue on older Migs.
Plenty of posts on the Forum for 'how to fix'

I have had the same, you can replace the bulbs, try Osram Nightbreakers £30 approx, I fitted 'Halfords Brilliance' (£20 by-one-get-one-free) makes a huge difference.  :y :y

As a temp fix, I took off the grill and lowered the bumper.
Then unscrewed the lower bolt supporting the Headlights and fitted a 3mm rubber washer behind the bracket to lift the lights up slightly - made big difference - and it passed the MOT!
But - Main Beam interfered with low flying aircraft   ;D;D
Since replaing the adjusters, took washers out - all back to near normal  :y

It's just the up/down that fail so a pair will do both headlights.  :y :y :y
