Please could someone with a MK1 Fabia VRS that has between half and a full tank of fuel, go and measure where the main focus of their dipped beam lights is on a wall when the car is parked 6ft (or any measured distance) away please?

I have a feeling mine are set far too low at the minute and this seems like a quick and dirty way of getting it something like?

Any other suggestions welcome so long as I can do it on my drive (which is flat by the way).

Thanks in advance for any help!

you know theres adjustment to the right of the steering wheel?

That adjustment is there to allow for loading of your car, no good if the headlights are not set correctly in the first place.

true - but you culd you that as a last resort to stop blinding a guess - i was just checking you knew it was there though

It's the other way mate, the beam is far too low. I've had an educated guess using the garage door as a guide. They seem much better but don't know if they will be ok for MOT.

As a rough guide, park 25 feet away from a wall and adjust them to 3 feet off the ground I believe

Just get your headlights adjusted properly at a garage asap. Appreciate there will be a charge and slight delay. But at least you'll know they are correctly aligned and public road/mot legal. Wouldn't want to knowingly blind oncoming traffic and potentially cause an accident for the sake of a few quid to get it done properly.

At no point have I said I'm not going to get it done "properly". And money doesn't come in to it? And I'm more than capable of knowing how to adjust headlights to a point where I can see and they don't blind other road users. All I have asked for is some advice as a relatively accurate quick interim solution

Perhaps you couldn't read the initial question properly from up there on the moral high ground?
