Headlight adjutment help needed please
 
I finally fitted the UK bi-xenons I bough from Neil a while ago.
I have a problem during adaptation. When I go to channel 55 group 001 and press go! all it says is "error group not available"

I wasn't expecting this. Does anyone know why this may be? Could it be due to coding, headlights being RHD and car being LHD?

Sorry should have checked this before posting. The little sensor that clips onto the control arm for headlight level has come off again. I'll re-attach it tomorrow and try again.

YAY! It worked. I now have a frankenS8 with RHD headlights.
I just hope I adjusted them precisely enough to pass the MOT.
The headlights are only 65cm high, I adjusted the beam to around 62cm high about 3m away. I hope this will be ok.

I am so disorganised, I had to go through 3 MOTs with those headlight stickers. Finally even my MOT place got fed up and said just fit the proper headlights.
MOT passed yay! what a relief! Now I have some shiny new lights. One of the old ones was yellowing a lot anyway.

LoooL!

If only Mikki and Mike hurry up with the manual solution maybe I can ditch this thing and get a RHD to convert.
