Headlight beam level adjustment

[smithy318i]

Guys. I just fitted my new lights, but the levels are wrong.
Does anyone have a DIY on adjusting the height?

Dont say twist the screws!

I was told to park in front of a garage door and adjust them, but what height should they be set to? and what distance from the door?

bugga, i suppose i'll tell you anyway

1 Each headlight has two adjusting screws,
one controlling up-and-down movement and
one controlling left-and-right movement (see
illustration). It may be necessary to remove
the grille (see Chapter 11) for access to these
screws.
2 There are several methods of adjusting the
headlights. The simplest method requires a
blank wall (or garage door) 25 feet in front of
the vehicle, and a level floor.
3 Position masking tape vertically on the wall,
to mark the vehicle centreline and the
centreline of both headlights. Note: It may be
easier to position the tape on the wall with the
vehicle parked only a few inches away, and
then move the vehicle back the required
distance when all marks have been made.
4 Make a horizontal line on the wall to mark
the centreline of all headlights.
5 Move the vehicle back so that it is 25 feet
away from the marked wall (keep the front end
of the vehicle square to the wall). Adjustment
should be made with the vehicle sitting level,
the fuel tank half-full, and with no unusually
heavy loads in the vehicle.
6 Switch on the dipped beam. The bright
spots on the wall should be two inches below
the horizontal line, and two inches to the left
of the headlight vertical lines. Adjustment is
made by turning the adjusting screw to raise
or lower the beam. The other adjusting screwshould be used in the same manner to move
the beam left or right.
7 With main beam on, the bright spots on the
wall should be exactly on the vertical lines,
and just below the horizontal line.
