Howdy,

probably a stupid question....

The car had just passed its M.O.T and the adviser said my headlight aim is a little bit low.

Its a v3 sti ra with manual lights, how can I adjust the height of the beam???

Cheers

 

 

Couple of bolts on the back of the headlamp?

 

Not too sure if it's the same as mine (93wrx) but on the drivers side headlight there is a bolt nearest the wing that sticks out horizontally,not too sure about the passenger side one though.

Personally if the guy passed it and said it's a bit low why didn't he sort it for you would have only taken a few minutes.
My last MOT the i had a similar problem and the guy who did mine sorted on the spot.

 

Don't mess with it without a beam tester, chances are you'll get it wrong; too high and it blinds drivers.

You should have got the tester to adjust them for you. Might still do it for a drink, as its only a 2 minute job (presuming the adjusters haven't broken).

 

On my Crystal lights there is hexagon stud/bolt at the top towards the grill and a phillips screwdriver screw facing up at you positioned lower down towards the wings.
Bolt for left to right, screw for up and down..... ....super easy.

 

Agree with above comments, easy to adjust, getting them adjusted correctly is another story!!

 

Cheers for the replies folks, im ok with the spanners so ill have a go tomorrow
