	To re-align the beams, make a mark on a wall - in chalk maybe - where the old beam is. With the new lights in, align the beams to the original mark on the wall.

	Piece of cake, and aligning the beams is as hard as pointing your car at a wall at night at having a play with the thumbscrews. If you own the wall, go there tonight with some chalk, put a line on the floor where your wheels are and a line on the wall where the beams hit and you'll be able to line your new ones up exactly right :thumbs:

	5 minutes for each headlight and that's in the dark with your eyes closed.

	Mine failed on headlight-aim when I put Morettes on the night before my MOT (probably doesn't sound like a good idea, but Morettes with slightly-off headlight-aim was going to be a better choice than a standard headlight with a hole the size of a golf-ball in the glass).

	i still havent adjusted mine, and it passed the MOT like that. Dont think it should have done though.
