I did the left light last night. Not a major difference with those Xenon h4's. The lights are now allot more (white) as aposed to yellow and the intensity is more by about 15%.

of the four screws in the main headlight bezel the ones in the 12 o'clock and 9 o'clock position are used to adjust the beam alignment



Are you sure ?
I've had my headlights off three times now and from memory its the screws at 3 oclock, 9 oclock and the motorised one (connected to the height adjustment knob on the dash) at 6 oclock where adjustments need to be made. I just kind of figured it out so if I've done it wrong please advise !

One thing to watch for is don't let any of he four screws drop down through the small slit in the headlamp box - best cover that with a bit of masking tape first. One trick is to use double sided tape which will ensure the screw will just drop and stick and not fall down through the slit into a small box section from which they are a PITA to get out.


Spoken like a man with true experience of Land Rovers. I lost half-an-hour to a screw in that slot before!


I've just dropped a screw thru the slot - if you take the headlamp back out you can easily get access to retrieve the screw Series IIa Lightweight - Long Gone

Old thread, but Ive just shafted my alignment and my headlamp vertical adjuster doesnt work now either after I made a right fanny of bulb changing.

Shouldve read this first. Rolling Eyes

Replacement bits are cheap enough. Headlight fitting kit STC1614 contains most of what you need for 8. My local tyre/MOT garage adjusted the headlights for free.

Thanks Balvaig. My local garage fixed the issue FOC too (I hadn't located the screws at 6 o'clock in the slot properly - both sides!!) but my offside adjuster motor now just makes a buzzing noise. Will have to try and find it. The other works OK.

From memory it is behind the bowl which is behind the light. Might just need lubricating. Worth switching the setting from 0-3 and back a few times and watch whether the headlight adjusts. Might also be mislocated. Pretty certain you will have to remove the headlight again to get at it. Big Cry

Make sure the adjuster is in the slot of the headlight ring and not behind it.
