headlamp aim

Post by heicodriver »

Can anyone tell me how to aim my headlap beams. I just returned from England and my beams are pointing to far to the left. I don't want to blind other drivers so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

Attached shows how to do it. However, it is better to have it done using a beam setter to get it to comply with the "relevant national statutory requirements."
