headlights II

[rocco16 at sbcglobal.net (LEF)]

Some adjustment is expected, as you say, and the driver's side took a 
little; about 1 1/2 turns of the horizontal adjustment screw and half a turn 
of the vertical.
The passenger side took 12 full turns of the horizontal adjustment screw and 
close to 5 turns of the vertical......that's enough to be alarming, though 
nothing in the light looks amiss and it is fitting into its bucket as it 
should.
 (maybe the old Eagle Eye unit was the messed up one, although this new 
Hella looks somewhat cockeyed now that its beam is pointing in the right 
direction)
