Get them adjusted at a garage. The extra light you will have might upset people. I have been flashed about twice since last September! I did feel guilty both times though...

they were checked before as i was a bit concerned. the bulbs wont have changed where they sit as theres a tab on the bulbs that houses it in the same way so they wouldnt have moved from where they were when they were checked,you dont get them checked when you change a bulb as that would be a design fault so they will be fine.

A garage that does MOTs will have the proper optical equipment to adjust the beams so that they are pointing in the right direction. What really gets me is how some people drive along with one headlight pointing right in your face..... don't they notice their beam pattern is well off?????

Yes I am a teacher at the moment and applying for a job in another school, closer to home.
My plan is..... my wife currently drives a Corsa. I will let her drive the Ibiza, sell the Corsa and get an MX5 and turn it into a track beast!!!! I can walk to this new school you see!

yea i know thats how i got mine checked they only adjust them by the adjuster.
i totally agree it does my head in too as you go to take a corner all you can see is a big blob in your line of vision that wont go in that time anything could happen its even worse if you sneeze at that point too as by the time your eyes recover how far have you travelled.
