car just failed its MOT on a few minor things, one of which is that both headlights have gone very low . the internal adjuster has stopped working also, so my guess is that the control for the height has gone pop.

i cannot find anything on the net offer any advice as to what may be wrong. would the headlights go very low if the control unit fails ?

i doubt it is a servo motors gone as both lights are at identical heights.

thanks in advance.

Fuse ??

DB

Get someone to sit in the car, start it and move the adjuster up and down. Have a look at the headlights while the do this, Can you see any movement of the reflective back?

nothing moves, the lights point at the road about 4 ft in front of the car :( it doesnt get driven at night so we werent aware
