Altezza front headlight adjustment?

[neobristol]

I recently bought the altezza headlights off ebay im stoked! only trouble is that they point to the floor and to the right i need to get them over to the left so as not blind WA drivers anymore than they are! does anyone know of a good garage with the light meter set up in the northern suburbs of perth?

or does anyone know how to adjust them? i pissed about with the 2 screws on the inboard and outboard light but they all just seem to move the lights up and down not left an right.

appreciate the help guys

altezzas are a real pain to adjust.
there are about 4 or 5 adjusting screws on each unit, a couple are not visible when you look from above into the engine bay, they are below the back of the globe housings, if that makes sense?
you have to test with each one what it does, different one for the highbeam and headlight, one moves em left-right, another moves em up-down.
i just parked the car in the carport, backed it up as far as it could go, and adjusted them by hand - took a coupla go's, and you have to take the battery out to get at the drivers side screws, but i think i got it right(ish).
i phoned the motor vehicle boys to get the legal beam height etc, and they said that as long as the flat part of the beam (at the top of each beam , where it forms a straight line) is still level with the projector lens at a distance of 23 ft/8m, then its legal.
i've never been "flashed" by oncoming traffic, and the viewing distance at night is excellent.
hope this helped

hey neobristol - i reckon $5 is a nice price - by the time you drive all the way down to mine you would have spent that on juice alone
pm me if you have any dramas with it - i can talk u thru.
