Changing Headlight angle - S2
Discussion
Extremely eaasy.
Remove headlight cover undoing three nuts on each wheel arch (a large flat screwdriver will be required if they are stuck due to dirt, later you will be able to remove them simply by hand).
On the dipped light assembly you will find a small lever that will mask part of the light pattern, the part that goes on the left side of the road, of course. This lever can be operated simply by hand.

Hi. If it's just for a quick trip over, then yes just follow the advise given, and adjust the flap. It will make the light pattern flat (no lift up to blind on coming drivers). However the existing poor lights will be even more reduced.
If it is more perminant, ie importing, the whole plate needs simply removing, turning round 180', and then positioning back, ensuring the location points line up. I aradited mine back in. The flap will have to be removed as it gets in the way. The only way is to remove the whole light cluster to get a decent vantage point to do this job. Job is done on mine, and passed french CT no sweat !! I also replaced bulbs with some decent Phillips long range bulbs.

Yes I need to pass the Luxembourgish CT, so do you think the quick fix will work, how long did it take you?
