I'm back on the Internet so cheers to everyone, hope ya'll having a good time with your Tuscans smile !


I'm looking into changing my headlights to EU settings, meaning instead of the headlights lighting up to the left they should light up slightly on the right, or vice-versa... I'm not quite sure anymore. Anyway its the opposite of the standard settings tongue out

Hi,

you have to open the bonnet and the access covers of the lights.
with the screws on the sockets, you can adjust the lights in any angle.
For a correct setting you need a special device.

Greetz to France,

found only this article about adjusting headlights...sorry, only in German.
Take a look on the photo..thats a device from the German Company "Hella" im talking about.
I think its Time to spend a couple of minutes in a Workshop near you, without a professional setting you get problems with "Control technique" every 2 years.

a half hour job with the right tools..i thing its a cheap fix for you.

To change to EU, you need to do more than only adjust. Remove, turn 45 degrees and screw back.

The problem with the Tuscan is, that you might find it very hard to reach the screw sitting to the wing side. When doing conversions I found it easier to remove the whole unit, remove the three screws (actually only 2 have to be removed completely, since one is sitting in a slot hole) and set it to the appropriate position and then glue it back in place. Takes about 10 minutes per side and is easily done.
Just be careful not to break anythink when removing the units, but usually they come off remarkably easy.
