Adjusting Xenon lights

[RB_172]

Anyone know if this is possible on a Mk2 172?

I understand theyre supposed to be self adjusting but mine seem to stop too close to the car since ive had it lowered and filled the boot up with ICE.

I can only see a little way infront of me when its dark and its dangerous!

You can with a long phillips screw driver. There are white plastic turrets at the back of the lights that adjusts the height of the beam on the back of the light unit. Obviously find a dark flat road or carpark. Don;t adjust too high as it will cause glare for oncoming traffic.
