   Theres an adjuster in the bonnet mate. Grey wheel. But i recommend getting them properly adjusted to avoid blinding oncomers.

   put the adjuster in the car back to 0 and then go get it adjusted correctly.

   the adjuster in the bonnet is at the top or side of the lights if i remember right. You'll see it. Little Grey wheel. It pulls the lens in and out when you turn it.

   You will never adjust it correctly.
   any mot station will do it for you.
