Hi All

The dipped headlight beam on my c5 is too low does anyone know how to adjust the headlights aim as when im driving at night the dipped beam is pointing to the ground which is no good they need to be raised

If you look behind the headlight there's usually a couple of adjusting knobs for up/down, left/right adjustment. They will normally be a screwdriver adjustment but sometimes a socket will be needed. You will need to park the car about 10ft from a wall at night with the lights on and fiddle with these adjusters whilst looking at the light beam on the wall to see how you are changing the aim.

hi saabc5

Thanks for your reply ive tried fiddling with these grey adjusters but it seems to make no difference there are 2 on each headlight but so far only messed with the N/S lamp.............. maybe im doing something wrong
