Default Headlight level still too low after adjusting

Hi guys,

I just updated my headlights to LCI Halogen and I've used the up/down and left/right adjuster under the bonnet but my drivers side is still way too low to be affective at night.

I understand that the driver's side is significantly lower to avoid any oncoming traffic but I think it just needs another full turn on the adjuster to be right. At the moment it's pointing way too low.

Is there a way to further adjust the headlight? maybe by un-tightening the screws or position the headlight further in/out.

Any help?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply Yeah I've tried both methods from both threads earlier today and still nothing

I'm just not too sure how else to adjust the headlights.

Maybe post some beam shot for us against the wall at night?

You may really be at the highest already, and just not used to the lighting possibly.
