Angel Eye Issue.
Hi,
Recently I purchased some MK2 Ultra Angel Eyes and since fitting them I have noticed that the stream of light is looking down on the road too much and not giving me good vision of the road ahead. Is there any way of resolving this problem?
Thanks in advance

Never been to a garage before by myself. Do you park up and ask if they could allign them first?
My step dad owns a mechanics so I might just ask him. + Does it have to be dark to tell?

just park up outside, go in reception, state that you need your headlights aligning and enquire on a price
and nah, they have special equipment and a dimly lit garage

the angel eye headlights are shite for vision dude. i have them on the saxo. you need to get them adjusted up and put in a brighter bulb tbh.
any local garage that does mots can sort the adjustment of the headlights
