Title: Adjusting headlights for continent
Post by phloid on Jul 27^th, 2007, 3:49pm

Have a 97 cossie. I've read the info on adjusting headlights but am having difficulty putting it into practice. My fingers are not as flexible these days.
Am going to france shortly and wonder if there is any other way of adjusting the headlights. ???

hi there

no, there's no other way to adjust them.

better to get a wee local garage to do it if you can't get into the lever.

only other way is to take the headlight completely off (not as hard as you may think). you need to take off the fog/indicator lens to get to the 3rd bolt.

You can use a thin screw driver about 6" long to " flick " the levers if your fingers cannot reach. get to learn how to do it at home first only takes a few minutes practise... GOOD LUCK.

Thanks everybody. I'll just have to keep practising. I'll try the screwdriver Snoopy and with the help of the picture Pete I may just do it. Any way I've got 2 weeks to master it. ::)
