[V8] Aiming Eurolights, part two

[Mike Arman]

I was able to aim the low beams on my Eurolights without any problems 
- the knobs make things *so* easy. I notice the up and down 
adjustment is much more effective than the right to left adjustment. 
When I got these lights, I took them apart and cleaned and lubed all 
the moving parts, so the adjusters do work properly.

The low beams are very, very good. There's a sharp cutoff at the top, 
and you can see WAY down the road. Nice, and far superior to the DOT 
joke headlights the car came with (who the heck made these things, Lucas?).

I don't find any way to aim the high beams - and when I switch them 
on, birds fall from the skies with their feathers smoking . . . they 
are a little bit high. (Well, duh, that's why they call them high 
beams, right?)

I am thinking the way to lower the aim of the high beams is to loosen 
the two 8mm head screws under the plastic caps on the radiator 
crossmember, slide the tops of the lights a bit forward, which would 
tilt the entire headlight assembly slightly downward. Obviously, I'd 
have to then re-adjust the low beams, but that's not a big deal. Is 
this theory correct, or are the high beam aims preset when the car is 
assembled? According to Dan Stern's lighting website, some headlights 
cannot be adjusted at all!

Finally, can the fog light under the bumpers be aimed, or am I sawing 
sawdust in trying to do this?


Best Regards,
