The one on the electronic adjuster you can do with your hand the other one you need a socket, unsure what size though, but there is a whole in the car fram just above where it is on the headlight, good luck :thumbs: | |

There is a bit on the electronic adjuster you can twist to align up or down and there should be a small one on top of the light unit which does left and right :thumbs: | |

Do you mean adjusting the whole light unit or just the bulbs inside? | |

quote: Yes most likley... Too late now if you have swapped them, but I did mine by parking up facing the garage (or wall) then marking on the garage door where your headlights aim at (i used masking tape on where the brightest bit it) Then when your new headlights are on just adjust to these marks Might not be 100% but seems ok lol | |

Well, just fitted them without dropping the bumper, was a bit fiddly but managed to do it. For the drivers side one I had to take of the air intake pipe. | |

Nah leave the battery, i would'nt take it off. Just change them with the lights switched off obviously and it'll be fine. | |

It also says in the Haynes to disconnect the negative battery terminal, is this necessary or are they just covering their backs? | |

I did it without taking off the bumper. Had wheel off and everything ready to take it out and I dunno why but gave it a wee pull and it popped out! | |

Should only need to do the two for the grill the two for the bumper near the grill and the arch ones either side, and then it should lever forward enough :) | |

Yeah, that does :thumbs: the girlfriend has the week off so she'll hopefully be giving me a helping hand. Dropping the bumper doesn't look too difficult according to Haynes, just a case of undoing lots of screws and clips. | |

I did it without dropping the bumper was pretty straight forward, but would probably have been easier to as you get more room, and there is less chance of breaking any clips. The electric adjuster was an absolute pig to remove :( broke one of my standard headlights when i was swapping mine because it was between my legs while i used two hands to pull and it slipped and hit the floor :lol: Either get someone to hold it while you pull or be more careful than i was! | |

Well my girlfriend has bought me some Depo's for Valentines day :D anyway, been reading up in the Haynes and it says to take out/re fit headlights, you have to drop the front bumper. |
