Post headlight adjustement bar
Guys good morning .

i am trying to adust the headlights. I was thinking that if i put the wings then all will be set in position looking straight ahead.
So yesyerday i installed the wings but nothing got straight.
So is there a tip.? I am thinking that the bar through the years and crashes got bend.
Any tip on how to make headlights looking forward ?

No but they dont look at the centre of the car . the Bar is closer to the left cylinder than the right one.

maybe not!

Pavlos unless there has been bits cut out from it then fail to see how it is off.
you may have to be carefull how you attach the wings /fenders as the whole thing is unstable and wobbly untill is all tightened up.

Could just be that the actual light is not central on its ball mount on the end of the bar, loosen the 19mm bolt and swivel it about till you have it how you want it.
