Offside Headlight adjustment

[Klive]

Maybe I'm imagining it as the 4200 headlights are not the best, but it appears my offside headlight is pointing too far to the left. Has anyone seen this before?

Yep. You can adjust them by taking off the inspection panel in the front of the wheel well. It's a bit of a d!ck dance but it is easy enough if you persevere.

Thanks for that

I've got the wheel and inner wheel arch off as I'm doing some other work at the moment and can only see one adjuster on the top left, which is probably the one I need, but I believe there should also be another at the bottom right. Can anyone confirm this?

Using this photo from the other thread I can see only one adjustor. Is that correct?
I was expecting one for the vertical and another for the hoizontal.

I have the same question. How to raise the headlights aim on non self leveling lights?
Is there an up and down adjuster?

I have recently stuggled with adjusting headlamps on my 2004 4200 CC and from trial and error I found that the plastic 'bolt head' - centre of lamp, towards the bottom, above the conector, is the second range of adjustment. So using the two you should be able to adjust left to right and up and down.

I removed the wheel arch covers rather than using the access flap so I could see what I was doing. I did all this with the wheel off, measuring the distance to the wheel arch before removing the wheel and then lowering the jack to the same height when carrying out the final adjustment.
