Lite Adjustment



Geez, each Euro-lights on  my car (originally from 1984 5KQ) 
simply has two 1" diameter knobs for adjustment.  One controls L-R, 
one is Up-Down.  The Up-Down one also has a small lever sticking 
out.  Flip it and the lights drop down about 20 degrees - just right 
if you decide to load the trunk with cast iron antiques or tow a 
trailer which lowers the back end.  (Neither of which I've done, so 
don't start....)

I've had these apart, and each knob is mounted to a threaded shaft.  
Twist the knob and the shaft screws into or out of a plastic fitting 
attached to the reflector.  Simple.

Easy to aim, too.  I just use a brick wall at a nearby store (at 
night) as my aiming surface - mark the wall with masking tape for 
aiming/reference point, aim as per directions in my Haynes manual, 
remove tape and skedaddle.
