Cerb headlight beam adjustment for MOT?

[Erich Stahler]

Anyone know how to adjust them?

I found the pics below from an old posting by Jonbarret showing holes beneath the outer cover, is these for access to the adjustment screws or do you have to take the front wheels off and remove the panels in the wheel arches stuck on with sealant to access the adjusters.

These might help.

Those three holes are for mounting the surround. The headlights can be adjusted with the covers off via screws around the lamps (I think).

The four holes are for the fixing bolts which should be attached to the headlamp bezel, which are secured by nuts and big washers on the inside of the wing ( I changed the nyloc nuts for wingnuts, because they are easier to use in such a confined space). Access is gained by removing the front wheel and then removing the panel inside the wheel arch. The headlamp adjusters are also accessed by this method.

in the wheel arch there will be a round cover with sealant on it. remove this then look inside with a torch, you will see 3 threaded bars with wing nuts/butterfly nuts on with springs, these are you lamp adjusters.

Thanks chaps, trouble is aligning the beams using the old chalk mark on the wall is not very accurate and an leaves one very much at the mercy of a very anal MOT tester!

I took the covers in the wheel arches off,drove down, and he let me align mine there and then with his tester, you can get in with a small spanner, take a pair of mole grips to stop the rod turning, bit fiddly but can be done with the wheels on.
