MOT headlight failure, need help
 
I have a '02 Curvy import that's just failed its MOT due to the mainbeam headlight pointing too far to the left it seems. The headlight adjuster did not help this. I've not checked the haynes manual yet but I assume as it's an import the light's etc will be different from what's in the manual so I'm not sure how well I'll get on taking the front end to pieces.

Any advice/guidance in this area would be much appreciated.

Thanks :)

Hello, the only fix for this I'm aware of is to replace the headlight with a UK one. If someone has a UK light with a broken back (this is quite common accident damage) you can separate the front and back out in an oven and use your EU back with a UK front and UK reflectors (I did this with mine).

a mate of mine has an import curvy, the way its went through mots in the past is to black insulating tape over the lens cover so that beam shines correctly, it was the dealership he bought it from that showed him this and its passed its last mot without a problem
