You obviously aren't aware that Vauxhall changed the heater console after 98 - it isn't as simple as the Haynes manual says, seen as I've been reading it :P I know how to adjust the headlight, but don't know what position they're supposed to be in to begin with.

as said before black dial/knob behind headlight. twist it and you'll hear the adjuster motor moving.

No you can adjust with the light in, try parking a car next to yours against a wall and level it up with them.

How close to the wall? Also, I fear the adjustment will be near on impossible without removing the actual headlight. Is this correct?

theres a dial on the back of the light for adjusting the beam angle should be the same to adjust it whever its electric adjustment or not

Is that by moving the whole light unit of the bulb? I have electric height adjustment too...

I presume a garage will be able to do this properly?

I have just fitted my Depo's and the bulbs aren't aligned equally. The drivers side seems to be pointing up more, but still isn't dazzling drivers

Is there a way of me aligning the bulbs or does it need to be done at a garage? The only trouble is I don't know if the drivers is too high or the passenger too low :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
