Default Headlight pattern pictures???

Guys

I posted this in S2000 Talk, but I know some of you only look here, so as I haven't yet got the answer I hoped for I figured I'd ask the local chaps as well.

MY dealer is having a problem adjusting my headlights properly. I used to have one notch where the driver side was lower than the passenger side, now I have two. They claim they checked it with another car they had there, but its just not how it was before.

Is there any chance someone could take a picture of the pattern the lights leave on a wall, from a specified distance, say 15ft, and post it so I can show the dealer how they should look.

On the other forum it apears that some people have one notch, others have two, three or even four. How about you guys?

Ta very much

Ross

I wish I had a control that could adjust the height of the lights, I had one in my Fiat Bravo...

Taken at 15ft. (est.) This is exactly as the lights have been since new:-

The camera was pointing straight ahead and was held on top of the steering wheel.

Excellent, thanks Cedric that is exactly what I needed.

Lets see if my dealer can get it right with this.

Thanks again

Just got my 2001 yesterday. Only one notch.

Great headlights .

Though one pensoner whent to and stayed on full beam until I started flashing like crazy.... I know they're bright but people should realise that headlights have really got a lot better of the last few years....

I think they are great too.

They remind me of the floodlights at a footy match
