Offside (won't adjust) headlamp aim is too high

Offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover excessively deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt

first does anyone have a pic to show where the headlamp adjustment is? even though they said it wont adjust, what could this mean?

apparently the anti-roll bar linkage isnt difficult to repair? would rather do it myself if its easy enough, is it worth doing the whole thing or just the bushs? any tips?

To adjust your headlamp position there should be a roll switch under your steering wheel to the right. Can't help with the second part.

bulb might be in the wrong way around?
or adjuster broke... so new headlight.

look for a white cog, and turn it.

Hi mate, It's the Alan key screw in the pic that controls the aim height. This happened to me aswell and thought I needed a new light but the inside might have just popped off the adjuster, if so just need to pop it back in then your sorted. If you take the rubber dust cover off the back of the light and can wobble the inside then that's your problem and you won't need a new light. Hope this helps
