Been meaning to ask this for a while and an impending MoT has prompted me to do so now!
At the last MoT when my headlight alignment was checked while on dipped beam the light kicked up slightly on the right hand side. Aside from that it's the right shape. The guy doing the test for me (same guy has done all my MoTs for the last 20 years!) got round it by sticking some tape to my headlight lens with the proviso that I would get it sorted a little more permanently. Someone else locally who has a curvy has exactly the same issue (and the same "temporary" cure!). Does anyone else have this? It seems to me that the offside light needs rotating slightly but I'm not sure this is possible. As far as I can see the lights are only adjustable vertically or laterally. Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions on this would be very welcome. Ta.... Last edited by garynortheast; 06-02-12 at 08:30 PM. |

It might be a euro headlight. Does only one light come on when dipped and, if so, is it a projector light?

dont think you can rotate them, they pivot from one corner to allow the movement required.

My curvy has the same issue. It had a naked conversion before I bought it so I don't know what headlight was used, but it's needed tape for the 2 MOTs I have had done.
