Hi ,
Has anyone any experience of realigning the headlamps for long term use in France on a 1999 Maserati 3200 GT?

I am looking at registering my Uk spec car in France, and the stick on deflectors are not permitted for the Controle Technique (MOT). Is there an easy adjustment, or does it mean buying LHD OEM headlamp units (ouch! How much!!)

ANY HELP MUCH APPRECIATED.

I have a 2001 3200. I have the beams set as low as possible for UK, so as not to dazzle on the continent. I believe this setting is ok for Europe, so I have been told.

Thanks Alandwf,

Another naive question, did you carry out the adjustment from under the bonnet, or from under the wheel arch behind the unit?

Many Thanks

Frank

Remove wheel and access panel in wheel arch liner, there is a up/down adjustment, and a left/right adjustment screw at the rear of each unit. As mentioned Sportsmaserati should be able to answer all your questions.smile

Thanks Robin and Allandwf,

Much appreciated.
I will take my toolkit on the Ryanair flight, and adjust accordingly.

I don, t want to cause any more problems in Europe!
