Adjust Xenons For Abroad

[davec]

Have searched lots and can't find the right term.how do I adjust xenons for continent.I have removed grill,remove 2 torx and loosened two bottom torx,pulled out lamp.Removed grommet,which way do I turn the allen screw for each headlamp.Also read you can cut an allen key down and leave it in,is it likely to damage the adjustment mechanism

 

Many thanks.

 

Had a good day though,serviced Gal,4 new Dunlop fast response,greased spare winch linkage changed the scratched doorpulls and washed the bird poo off the roof,

Many thanks for all the help and advice. I've just had a look at my headlamps. (Very relieved that I did not leave it until just before rolling off the ferry/eurotunnel!!)

 

There are a few details that are different to the TIS drawings;

i) Behind the rectangular electrical component there is an extra screw that holds the back cover.

ii)I could't see any T & O markings.

 

There is a rubber grommet in the back cover that aligns with the internal adjuster. I have drilled the rubber grommet and inserted an alan key through it so as to locate in the adjuster. For the sake of sacrificing a couple of alan keys it will now hopefully be a simple matter of lifting the bonnet and giving each a quarter turn! (Penny pinching for the manufacturers not to have done this in the first place).

 

The lever of each headlamp was in a different position. I have made the assumption that the correct UK position is when the adjuster is rotated a quarter turn clockwise on the nearside and a quarter turn anticlockwise on the offside headlamp. Is this correct? (I think I'd better check after dark!)
