headlight hight?????

hi all just wanted to know what hight my low beam should be if i mesured it against a garage door,my lights are terrible all i ever get is flashed and thats on low beam ,i drive a 93' 2ootdi cheers all

Dunno .. I set them by parking about 5 car lengths behind a car (any normal, standard saloon/hatchback type) and setting the heights so that the flat portion of the beam is below the rear window.

To adjust headlights vertically or horizontally or both...Park the car on a flat, level surface. If possible have the car face a blank wall, neutral colors like white or gray work best. Avoid any internal light shining on the car.

Make sure the tire pressure is correct and the car is loaded as "normal"

Start with the car close to the wall (as close as you can) and facing the wall. Switch on dip beam, and mark the "cut off" with chalk. Now move the car 25 feet away from the wall.

Adjust the lights so the cutoff is below and to the left (to your discretion, but at least 3-6 inches imho) of the original marking.

This method will work for straightening the lights both vertically and horizontally.

Or... after you have done your DIY bit, go to a garage and have them set up the lights properly with a Beam Setter and then you will have no problems at your next MOT.

thanks guys for your help.that is what makes this site great
