Hi Guys,

I've made a bit of an error. I dropped the headlight units forward into the pods so I could give the pods a good clean whilst changing the bulbs. I did this without really thinking about losing the healight adujustment which I understand is a pain of a job. The car is up on axle stands with wheels off at the minute. Does anyone have any good tips on how to do this so I can pass my MOT? I don't even know what the regs are.

Thanks in advance,

Simon

When i converted to RH-traffic headlights I drove to the MOT without the covers on, and asked nicely if I could adjust the headlights to the optics they used. You should be able to reach in with your hand for an adjustment if your rideheight isn't too low.
Mine passed after some minor adjustments. thumbup

Just remember to put a plastic bag or something similar in the holes to minimize dust and water from coming into the wing (and the pod!).
