ok im still trying to get my headlights on my vs sedan adjusted good enough for my big night highway drive at 1am on saturday ,the up and down is easy enough [although i have to wind the oppistite way the arrows say ,]but the sideways screw doesent seem to do anything.ive wound it heaps and it didnt seem to change the direction of the headlights, i cant really tell the direction on low so i chuck on the highbeam and u can clearly see the passenger side is more towards the middle of the car [faceing a wall] . is it just me loosin the plot guys or can sum1 relate to what is going on cheers muz

I think that they are meant to be different for different spread of light.

Been there done that champ and it did my head in as well. Best way to do it is find a dark stretch of road, cover one light up with card board or something like that. Adjust the first one then cover it and adjust the next one. All this stuff about lining it up on a wall does not help. Good luck and it takes ages to turn them with the screw and yes opposite directions work.
