full beams = dims....

Hey fellas,

first of all good meet Zig and the London/Kent/Peoples Republic of Essex contingent on Saturday in Greenwich.

I mentioned at the time that I am constantly dazzling oncoming traffic with my headlights which whether I have them on full or dips seem to always be on full or as good as. Resistors were mentioned ( or rather lack of them ) , where would these things live ?

Thanks.

I know its stating the obvious but have you checked the headlamp adjustment? You should be able to adjust from side to side and up/down.

headlamp adjustment? Side to side? Up and down?

Not sure about there being any form of headlamp adjustment on my 200?

Shoule be two small-headed screws, one at the top and one at the side of each headlamp, they cause the lamp unit to tilt in its pod. You may have to pull off the finisher around the lap to see them.

ah i see , no the prob is there is no difference between full beams and dips well I toggle the stalk , well very little. The position of them is fine I think.

Correct type and wattage bulbs fitted? Bulbs fitted correctly? Basic alignment OK? Non-UK lenses fitted?

Also, you may want to check the Diode in the fuse, relay box.
