Headlight level

Post by Savvy »

I wanted to change the front bulbs on my MX at the weekend, however the new bulbs were no good so FIVE times I took different ones back. I decided to keep my Bosch ones. However, I don't know why, but now my lights point straight ahead instead of on the road and blind people!! Is there a correct way of installing them?? Please help, UK manual is useless!!<P>Thanks. :p

The level of the light is determined by the lense and the fixture of the bulb.<P>The bulb has to fixed in certain slots and the mould of the glass is so that the direction of the light is fixed straight.
