Already asked this question, but posted in the wrong section.

Is there a manual way to adjust the headlight level on a 2001 V70 T5 with the electric height adjustment? The light spread currently cuts very short even with the switch on the highest setting.

I've found the left to right adjustment, but there must be an up and down one, sureley?

HELP. I'm getting fed up of tootling around when it's dark!

Thanks

Hi Your best bet is to take it to a mot station ask them to adjust them as it has to be spot on, probably be around £5- £10.

There is a adjuster one at the back of the headlamp and one oon the top.

How easy is it to get to the adjuster on the back and where in relation to the light is it (left,right top,middle or bottom)??

I just want to adjust slightly for the time being. No need to pay a garage. If it's done when dark, you can easlily see if it will dazzle oncoming vehicles.

It's attatched to the headlamp assembly you can't miss it mate one is on the top and the other is at the back of it.

Only joking good luck with your adjustment.

You could be right!!

Although, in my defence, I was looking in the dark, so that I could see what effect the adjustment would have (if I could find it).

I'll have another look in the light.
