High beams much too high

Post by Busterboo » Tue Dec 06, 2016 3:09 am

Forgive the newbie question. How can I lower the high beams?

Not only are the low beams too low, but the high beams are much too high.

I've found, I believe, the low beam adjusters, but not the high.

Hi, the under bonnet adjusters work for both high & low beams I think-they are the white plastic hex heads behind the lights, one is up/down, the other left/right.

No way to adjust high beams, just have to accept that half the light is above the horizon.
I'm assuming the dipper is just a shutter that cuts off half the light.
The adjuster just raises or lower the body of the lamp?
Good in tunnels I suppose.

E89 is always Xenon. I thought high beams were just that.. high. I.e. They illuminate everything.

I find my high beam, well 'high' as they illuminate everything. :)
