Just a quick one. on the picture below I have incdicated (with little red dots) where I believe the two adjustable screws on the headlamps should be positioned when the lamps are secured to the car.

Am i right? I'm cutting my new 2piece front end to accept standard equipment and wanted to make sure that i cut the holes in the right places.

cheers, Mike.

ok imagine 2 backwards L 's, or even easier on at the top and one at the left (when you are facing the front of the car) is how mine are set up :thumbsup: Thats on both side by the way

That got me some odd looks in the carpark at work !

Yep, thats were the adjusting screws are.

Sort of makes sense as well as the lights are meant to point slightly more to the offside iirc
