Suggestion

With the MKII it is easier to adjust the adjusters with the headlight unit out of the car, as I can't ever seem to find it through the adjust hole when it is still in the car.

Suggestion

Personally, I find the manual procedure damn tough to follow because it is near impossible to find a flat area with that kind of distance to measure and then to ge tthe actual bulb height is a swag because of how reset they are from the front.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

given that my car is lowered,, i need my headlights aligned,, how to level the headlights up?

POST 4Original post

Personally, I find the manual procedure damn tough to follow because it is near impossible to find a flat area with that kind of distance to measure and then to ge tthe actual bulb height is a swag because of how reset they are from the front. I just raise them a little at night in my garage, mark the cut off lineon the wall, drive around, and if too low, do it again until they are where I like them. Plus IIRC, you turn both them opposite CW/CCW rotations on each side to do the same thing. You have to rotate the allen screw down towards the front to raise the lights, IIRC. With the MKII it is easier to adjust the adjusters with the headlight unit out of the car, as I can't ever seem to find it through the adjust hole when it is still in the car. I have auto leveling bi-xenons, so may be different than yours.
