Wonky headlights

[Pink1991]

Driving home on the M25 the other night and noticed my left headlight shines across the surface of the road much further than the right one so im assuming they need to be re aligned. How do i do this?

Also my LEft fog light is out, to replace it is it just a matter of taking the plastic off and pulling the bulb out .. put a new one in?

Cheers guys :)

Garage jobby to get them aligned right. if im wrong well its new, news to me..

Lie underneath and undo the fog bulb holder - reverse fitting back.

on back of headlight unit, there should be a knob to turn.
twist it either way until you're happy. (better to do it when it's dark)

i had to do this not so long ago.

is there any laws on the angle they are suppose to be?

They have to be at a correct angle, they shine them into a light box when doing your MOT, pop along to a garage if you want them spot on, should only charge you a few pennies to do it

You can do it yourself if you're good with maths!

Basically, from the centre of the headlight or at same height as the bulb, your beam should drop 1.3% (think, should be on the headlights).

that would actually make sence because on top of the housing it says 1.2 so im assuming thats the angel it should be at?
