Mine were turned fully up by the garage and they are now too high so I will try to reduce the height and report back.....when it stops raining, if ever.

You are in Cumbria. As an ex-Cumbrian I can ascertain that the odds are stacked against you. 😜

Oi, I’m a fellow Cumbrian, so still regard myself as a Northerner. 😂

Just happen to be living down South these days. 😉

Using a 6mm Hex T-Bar I rotated both the N/S and O/S height screws an initial 180 degrees anti-clockwise to raise and will monitor the results.

Edit. It still felt a bit low after 180 degree turn on the height screws, a further 180 degree, so a full turn anti-clockwise in total on each headlamp height screw, and the beam pattern seems good after a road test.
Thanks for the good info.
