We have an AUII at our place with headlights that need focusing. The vertical adjustment is not a problem as the orange knob at the rear of the headlight assembly is easily accessable. However the horizontal adjustment doesn't appear to be quite so easy.
There are some white knobs on the outer/upper portion of the headlight assembly located at the rear of the unit with serated edges. These are hiding between the assembly and part of the subframe. I'm assuming the serated edge of the knob allows one to manipulate and focus the unit by turning the said knob with a screwdriver (if in fact it's the correct knob/adjuster). They're not all that easy to get at and seem rather fiddly and difficult to turn and adjust. Hoping someone out there might be able to suggest a method of adjustment that isn't quite so painful and tedius. Thanks. |

just loosen the bolts that hold the headlight in place and physically move the whole unit and then tighten it up again... thats what i did.
