    Default head light ajustments??

    last one for tonight (i hope)

    aparently you can ajust the convergence/hight of the headlights on a vs commodore (acording to my mate you can anyway)

    is this true? if so how do you do it?

    you dont turn a holden off

    you power it down!


    for any one who asks, holdens dont leak oil, there marking there territory

    yes you can adjust the height and move them side to side. theres 2 holes where you can insert a screwdriver to adjust them.

    from memory there is an arrow moulded on the light that points to each of the holes. line you car up to a wall and block off one headlight (or disconnect it) so you can focus on 1 at a time

    i think its 5mtrs from the wall is the correct spot for adjusting

    yeap its listed in the manual.. i have a manual and i still ask Q's on the forum, nothing wrong with bouncing ideas round and asking for similar issues becoz a solution can vary soo much.

    from memory... the picture looks something like, um , with your car parked a certain distance from a wall, the right hand side on the pattern should have a flat line. The left hand side has a line sloping diagonally downwards from top left to where it intersects with the flat line. The point they intersect is in line with the centre of the car. The theory is that this allows you to see pedestrians etc on the left side of the road, without shining the lights into the eyes of oncoming traffic on the right side of the road. Hope this makes sense.
