Headlamp Aim too high
Hi peeps
I got hit by White Van man a few months back, (who just legged it FAST when he saw the damage - obviously uninsured!):splat:
So had to replace the whole headlamp assembly. I changed it and set the height at what I believed was right, however on the motorways at night I keep getting flashed and a friend the other day, who was out walking spotted me and waved me over.

He pointed out the beam was way too high on the new lamp! I have tried adjusting the small 7mm white plastic nuts which have achieved something but its still a little out.
Any hints to setting these up? I guess parking it in front of a white wall will help?
Cheers

The impact has probably damaged the headlamp mounting points, hence why the lights too high.
Do it properly using a light beam adjuster in a garage.

Yep, bring it to a garage where it will be properly aligned.
You may try it at home on a flat surface or on a dark empty road, however it won't be 100% correct.

Assuming you've fixed this now?
However, I would have also removed the front bumper to straighten out whatever is bent/broken then refit. Guessing your had to do that?
