98 V70 daylight running lamps

Post by obdshawn »

One of my daylight running lamps went out and after replacing it with a new bulb, the bulb is out of position (is higher up and brighter than the other headlight). I've tried repositioning it, moving it around, even getting a new one, to no avail. Anyone have an idea how to adjust the headlamp?

I pulled my car up to a wall at a distance. Their are two Allen screws on the lamp box, should be pretty easy to see. Turn one for up and down other for left and right. Make sure you bulb is sitting in the holder correct first. A tip on the holder fits in a slot. Changing a bulb should not change the direction of the light angle.
