New headlight cannot adjust the dipped up enough

Featured Replies

Help needed

The led DRL on my right drivers side head light failed as the headlight sprung a leak at the seam between lense and plastic case next to the wing

Bought new skoda headlight from skoda dealer and fitted it but the dipped beam is just far to low

Odd but the nylon adjuster looked as though some tool had already been on it so I was suspicious

The main beam was ok with a tweak to its adjuster which was in perfect order

I have rotated the dipped adjuster until i feel resistance. ( anti clockwise was lifting beam seemed odd direction as main was clockwise to lift ?) but it dipped beam still pointing down onto road and far lower than than it should be

Is this the white 6mm hex/allen key fitting?

What about the in car headlight aim adjustment wheel?

The motor on the headlight moves up and down as I change the dash level setting to - or 3. Max to min.

Yes the white 6mm hex/allen key fitting (is the only adjustment available for the dipped beam)

The dipped beam was far too low and I just can not lift the beam up enough with the adjuster

The headlamp is nicely seated back in the body and with even gaps around it to the body work and it looks to be the same as the other side so it is sat correctly

Can’t see what I can do , I don’t want to force the adjuster as soon as I felt resistance I stopped But it’s far to low to start with

Checked bulb seated correctly too

bought it mail order from a skoda dealer I don’t see what I can do other than return it as defective
