Hi,
My dipped lights have a really short beam. I'm using the Halfords +60% bulbs, but I think it's the angle.
The dial by the gearstick isn't changing the lights at all. It's lit up when the lights are on, but not working. Any suggestions on what to check to get the dial working again?

Thanks
Gary

First things to inspect would be fuses (maybe inside car or under bonnet) and wiring connectors, on the back of the lamp units...

Checked the fuses, but can't see one that's specfic to this. The switch itself isn't even referenced in the docs on Newton net.
The headlamp angle adjustment doesn't match what's on that site either. There's no bubble gauge. http://www.newtonnet.co.uk/coupe/servic ... 419#_12419
Looking like a garage job.

Thanks anyway.

Quite often tyre places have the kit required to adjust headlamps, and MOT only places. Won't take long at all to do at all, so should be pretty cheap...
