I know this probably is a simple process, but one I've not attempted before.

I need to adjust the headlamps on my Sprint because they were all recently replaced... new gaskets, refurbished bowls, etc.

I can find various videos for adjusting headlamps, but nothing that really addresses cars with a four headlamp system.

Does anyone have such a video or instructions?

I got the basics, but at 25feet from the wall, I see little change in the "spot" when I turn the adjusting screw.
I should add that all new adjusting screws and hardware was used.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

This links explains it, though since you are left hand drive, you will have to use an American beam pattern obviously.

Four headlights doesn't make any real difference, the dipped beams are the most important because if you get the dipped pattern wrong you risk dazzling oncoming drivers.

If the nothing happens when you fiddle with the adjustment screws, then you need to take a look at the mechanism.

Probably best to get the pros to set it up, I can't imagine it would be that expensive and they will do a far more accurate job than you can manage at home.

Thank you for the link.

I agree, I will take it to a specialist, but wanted to get it somewhere near proper. Having put in new bowls, gaskets, fasteners, adjusters, I'm sure the aim is all over the place.

I did install LHD headlamps regardless of the fact it is RHD.

Once again, thanks for the help.
