Did you retrofit them?

Are they projector headlamps or have you put hid kit into reflector lamps?

They have been retrofitted , they are genuine xenons.

How have they been george apart from dazzling the old bill haha , take them to an m.o.t place and see if they can adjust them for you.

Apart from blinding the police they've been brilliant mate. I took them to an m.o.t station and they couldn't adjust them :/
He said they adapter could've come off the ballast or summing. Ether way the problems got to be solved. He threatened me with 3 points, what a dick!

But they're definitely worth the 6 hours of fitting stress  :P

She goes in monday for her transformation so I'll come meet you when it's done dude.

They're double the legal height haha!
I'll give you a shout mate.

There were no levelling sensors ect. According to the majority you don't need auto levelling ect.
That link doesn't work btw.

The left one is high but not too bad, the right one is ridiculous. Neither of them would adjust, hopefully it's something simple! Cba to waste any more money.

I assume you're adjusting them with the two white allen screws on the headlight units themselves?
