Fordfootforward Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hi, replaced my headlight bulb recently and since the change it is now brighter than the other side (also recently replaced in last couple of weeks) think it's definitely a headlamp levelling problem. Does anyone know how to change headlight level on actual headlight ? In my manual it says that there should be a lever next to the bulb holder which you can set to either level 1 or level 2 but can't seem to locate this anywhere. Thank you for taking the time to read this regards, fordfootforward 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoDaz Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I would first of all check you have put the bulb in correctly as it a common problem that the bulb is not sitting square if it is then wait until it's dark and drive up to a wall and check the lights for level if one is incorrect for height then you need a 7mm Allen key and adjust the plastic nut like adjuster that is located towards the bottom or the lamp assembly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordfootforward Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Bulb Defoe in properly, will try the lights tonight and report back. is it just the one plastic white nut I need to turn as mine has two?

TangoDaz Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 The white plastic nut in top of the headlights adjusts the beam right to left the one at the bottom of the headlights is the up and down adjustment hope this helps. This will also adjust the main beam at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Tbh you're best off getting it all done by a garage with the proper beam setter kit.If your lights aren't levelled properly they can be an MoT fail.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
