Projectors / Adjusting

Post by C70rider »

Guys,
Just installed a set of ABM projectors on my 02 C70, they look great but I need to adjust them, and not sure how, I can adjust the top setting for the light to focus? but they are aimed quite high and I'm getting some serious hate from oncoming traffic.
How do I go about lowering the beam to road level ? as of now they light up the overhead road signs very well. the road not so much.
2. is the center rod on the light the adjusting screw for the up n down level.

Thx for the help.

There are two adjusters on the ABM lights, one is side to side the other provides the vertical, once you start to move the adjuster with the light shining on a wall it should be very obvious which adjuster screw you are turning, if the light pattern fails to move the adjuster has probably been fully unscrewed off the part it fits in. To put the adjuster screw back in requires the light unit to be taken to bits - Mike

Mikealder,
the adjuster on top is the marked with an arrow pointing front to back, after turning it the lens moves in and out like your focusing a projector, the second has a slot in the top and a nut with a white rod inside it, but i cant get that one to turn either way, Guess ill wait for the shop to tune them. Thx for your help.
