Default 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

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
