Main beam adjustment

Post by Andy Beats »

Anyone any clue where the main beam adjustment screw is?
I've got the dip to a nice level, can't for the life of me see where the main adjuster screw is.
Main is terrible, far too low in relation to dip now.
As good as useless.

Hi Andy , please find attached a plan of where the adjusters are. I have not tried doing it yet but it will presumably alter both dipped and main beam

Got my dealer to raise the beams when I first bought it but they set them too high. Asked them to drop the beams a little and was told , by the same garage that led lamps are not adjustable!! Useless.

My led lamps were also too high, once the car was plugged into the computer and adjusted to the right level measured by the computer with angles and degrees.

The tech informed me it was not done at the factory.
