How to adjust? headlight beam pointing too low?
« on: 15 September 2009, 21:23:32 »

Hello I am new to this site and would be grateful for any advice / help on headlight adjustment to self levelling lights?
 And if a Tech 2 would allow adjustment or only identify a fault?
I have posted this on the general help but to no avail, other than what has allready been checked but thanks to the contributors

 My headlight beams point too low and I cannot get them to rise. I have removed one of the actuators and looked inside there is an awful lot of kit in there to just raise and lower the lights all adjuster sockets are located properly and the manual adjustment will not raise the beam enough. PLease help! :-[

Are you sure they are self-levelling? Unusual on a CDX.

I am not 100% but when switching on lights the beam re-adjusts to a position and also have been informed early Omegas had them fitted on this level of build.

Sorry to here you are still having problems. Elite only got self leveling lights from 98 onwards, but as you say you have a manual switch then you wont have selfleveling unless you have fitted the whole gubbins from a later car, ie. ecu, loom and level sensors.
Posting a photo of the back and front of the lights may help, but it sound like something inside has broken, very common with projector lamps.
