My driver side head light seems a bit out of wack... Pointed up a bit and not focused right... What would cause this and how do I adjust them? If anyone know that would be great! Thanks in advance for you're help!

Usually the screws are on the top of the headlight assembly. Check the owners the manual and it should give you the steps. Usually you want to park the Rover about 30 feet away from a wall at night and start adjusting from there. Hope it helps a little   Peter Sharratt (Gummikuh) Member Username: Gummikuh Post Number: 199 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 08:44 am:    Hi Ben First drive it up to the wall and mark with some tape were the centre of both lights are, on full beam, then reverse some distance and adjust them onto the marks on the wall. You can get it done super high tec method, but this works for me.

A mm or so can make a lot of difference   Ben Gott (Bengott) New Member Username: Bengott Post Number: 6 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 11:51 am:    Peter looks like I'll go with your option... Makes sense... Thanks everybody for the follow-up.. Ben
