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. |

Out of interest, what colour is your car Goran?

Photos do wonders, the stone chips and a small patch of peeling lacquer dont even show up LoooL! If only Mikki and Mike hurry up with the manual solution maybe I can ditch this thing and get a RHD to convert. |
