Hi, does anyone know how to adjust the beam height on Altezza headlights? Since Ive had my VT lowered, I keep getting flashed by on-coming drivers. After sales service has been no help at all so id appreciate any input.

Thanks

They dont use the standard adjusters?? If not then they aren't ADR compliant and you are breaking the law using them ;)

You get a hammer and chisel, and just whack the lens. Pretty soon they'll be much better :D :D :D

Sorry, i just can't stand them

The chinese headlight adjustment corporation has plenty of helpful hints for this common problem,however if the vt is too low then the 'facebeam' phenomonon is usually unavoidable.If this is the case then your best bet is to replace them with some al-jazzera style units.cheers.

There are screws on the back.. I'll have a closer look after uni, but they can be adjusted.. My ones anyway..

Thanks for all of the 'positive' replies guys .I slept on the problem and worked it out for myself. There are screws on the rear of the lights so I tried them out and.. presto!, its just what i needed to do. It takes a bit of manoevering to get a screw driver in but it was possible. Im a bit puzzled to understand why the seller didnt knowthis .I even rang the distrubtor in Vic, and they didnt know how to do it either. Go figure!!
