Well that's what the 3 screws are for, to adjust between driving here and on the continent, the smoked hellas are basically brand new E30 lights modified with some inserts...
mine are fine anyway!

i dont mind chopping things and doing any fidly work as i'm an engineer and i could do most of it at work without much of a problem. i was just wondering as i don't have the time to do too much at the mo with college...if it was a long project then i would wait unitll the summer or something

That was in 2002!!

Don't forget there may be issues with MOT fitting HID's as to fit HID's the car must also be fitted with headlamp wash wipe and auto headlamp levelling.

Waste of time!!

The motor on the N/S headlamp is brand new, I gave up after hours of work...

smoked hellas three years ago i have no idea how much they were but m8 paid 200 for them as they were for someone else that never had them fitted to his car. Promotive in rogerstone got them. The guy who originaly bought them pissed them about for months so i think they made on them twice

here a pic crap quality but i only had a shity kodak webcam thing in them days.

Post Mon Feb 07, 2005 9:36 pm

Nooo headlamp wash wipe motor....the headlamp aim is a total waste of time, never bothered with it as it's such a useless system, and do you really need it? That's why I never bothered.

No..that's why I said they 'used' to be readily available, they stopped supplying them because of lack of interest.

bugger.

what i mean is see the beam line, the angle it angles up \_____ \____is opposite on RHD bosch jobbies?! _____/ ______/ . Please say u can see what i mean. Yes your right the 3 screws are for adjustment. I referring to the cut out inside the actual light

Post Mon Feb 07, 2005 9:44 pm

simon, when you were talking about giving up after hours of work i wasn't sure wherther you were on about the wash wipe or the adjuster motor when you said it was brand new

When I fitted mine the beam kicked up and aimed to the right... ___/ ___/ like that....I un-did the screws and converted them to RHD, and now they kick to the left \___ \___ just like yours in the pic! I can't see what else is wrong!?

Post Mon Feb 07, 2005 9:47 pm

From what I can see from that pic the kick in the lights is pointing the right way, can't see any other problem, are you just giving up or was you really talking crap? :lol:

OK

Mine are fine if that's any consolation, and the pic of yours also looks fine too me, mine also passed the MOT without any problems too.

Post Mon Feb 07, 2005 10:04 pm
