Ok folks the MOT is due in a few weeks and i'm trying to get all the niggles sorted for it
The headlight alignment is out due to me fitting facelift headlamps. Ive adjusted them up a bit by hand but what i really need is some more accurate way of setting them
I've noticed that if i shine them onto a wall from a distance the beam pattern from the projectors makes a ---\___ type effect, however this pattern doesnt actually overlap from both projectors, the nearside being a bit higher and a bit to the left than the other.
I imagine there is a procedure such as "park 10m from the wall, get the beam patterns intersecting along the midline of the car then set the beam cutoff line to be 1.3M up from the ground"
Any ideas on this? or where i could find this info?
Thanks
