Hey all.
After fitting the marea headlights onto my Bravo over a month ago i've found that they dont quite shine high enough.
The internal hight adjsutemnt wheel is set to its highest but there still too low.
Anybody any suggestion on what needs doing??
Thanks

Pull it up against a wall and turn the lights on.

set the internal switch to its highest setting and make a mark on the wall where both lights shine (the top of the lights)
Drop the switch to it's lowest setting...

then on top on the lights (under the bonnet) there should be a white bit of plastic with what looks like a phillips head screw on it. turn these and the lights shoudl rise/fall.

put both lights up a bit and line them up with the marks on the wall. i.e. where the highest setting was. then go to the car and raise them back up again!

this is if I remember correctly from when i did mine.


the MOT checker will not allow the lights to be too high though which is why when I go to have my MOT done I lower the lights using the internal switch to the reccomended level happy.gif

I think it is inside this hole on the car, if you look through you should be able to fit a phillips screwdriver in there happy.gif

No idea chap, the sticker says something like 1.3% but I have no idea what this means....

You can get it done at a local garage for about £5-£10

Mine are set at about... 20ft from car in front, my headlights are about half way up the boot.

I think as long as you are not blinding the people coming the other way you will be ok, but a garage will be able to do it for you
