Headlight Adjustment
« on: 22 July 2009, 12:17:34 »

I have recently moved to Germany and had to change my headlights for Left Hand drive ones (did this myself). When i had the Mot type test, the car failed for headlight beam too low. As the headlights are self adjusting i can't quite work out what the problem is (there are no fault codes showing up for headlights)??? :-? any help greatly appreciated, so as to avoid a trip to the Opel dealer.

Check the small rods on the sensors for the headlights on the wishbones
