1990 BG astina headlights help!

jonnyman · 30-06-2010, 10:41 PM

hey all, i'm running a 1990 BG Astina SP, and recently ive noticed my headlights are pointing down wayyy to low. I'm only getting about 10m of light infront of me, if that. It's making driving at night very scary! Does anyone know a quick and easy way to adjust the beam of the lights? both high beam and low beam

I've replaced the battery, and that made them brighter, but still too low.

any help would be great!

pop up your headlights up, look from the front of the light and you will see a screw just undernieth in the black cover, that screw adjusts it anti-clockwise should bring it back up

there are 2 screws underneath the black cover, one on top and one on the side, which one would it be?

bottom mate lossen that and the light will tilt up as you go, doing it at night would be best so u can see how high u want the beam.
