Headlight adjustment

Post by bass_twitch »

Is there a way to adjust the direction and level of your headlights on the FTO?
How and if I want to lower it, how do I go about doing this?

There's a number of adjustment screws behind the lights.

^^^^ same as above, except long day at work, then up most of the evening pulling apart and putting back together my car.. brain not functioning...
I'm guessing what you mean is:
put it up against a wall and screw in and out the screws and figure it out? haha
Just to clarify, it is in fact the the 3 screws surrounding the back of the globe, correct?

Yes put it up next to the wall and just play with them all. One of them is your horizontal, ones vertical and ones got to do with the projection (turn this one and it fucks sh*t up apparently :lol:).
