Headlamp Level Adjuster Not Working

[Rp61973]

Hi,

Hoping someone may be able to advise?

Recently, with deteriorating night vision, I have noticed it is getting more difficult to see the road clearly at night. I have bought a pair of the Phillips XTreme bulbs and will fit these shortly.

I have noticed the headlamp height adjuster (scroll button on the light panel) is not moving either headlamp. It did work some time ago but has just packed up. Is there a fuse somewhere that may be blown? Both headlamps seem to be stuck on the low (caravan towing) setting.

Thanks.

You'll probably find the arms on the adjuster are seized, possibly front and rear. Remove, clean up, re-grease and put back.

Thanks Jeff, top man.

I'll drop the front bumper first as I want to change the nearside unit (cover is crusty inside) and the offside needs reconditioning to remove the haze.

Also double check the wiring harness where it is pushed back as the lights are fitted. My dads had been rubbing and sliced through 3 cables. After repairing the cables I added a rubber sleeve to stop it happening again!
