Hi there... I have changed about 4 freaking right head lights because of some problem that I have. The problem is that the high beam on the right, points excesively low, very low, like it was a fog light. How could I fix that? Did anybody had this problem? Cheers dudes and girls |

Hi! OK, so if you've tried several lights, and all of them have the same problem, then (unless all those lamps are dead) the issue must lie with the car, not the light units. 1) Check that the manual light positioning dial by the steering wheel isn't set in the "low" position 2) Perhaps the light unit is not being positioned properly, so it tilts downwards (missing bracket / bolt, something is stopping it seating properly?) 3) The headlight leveller system is not working, or the cable on that side is unplugged, so the beam on that side is not being adjusted to the correct position For years my 1.5 had very low headlights, I didn't realise that the cables for the levelling system weren't plugged in. When I plugged them in, the beams adjusted automatically and suddenly I could see more than 6 inches ahead of the car! Also, are you sure that the problem isn't the left light, i.e., that one is too high? Again, that could indicate a levelling issue on that side. S |

Cheers dudes and girls[/quote] I had a similar problem, it's quite hard to get the bulb fully seated into the recess. Try wobbling it about a bit, or turning it a bit more as you (gently) push it in. But, as Serena says, it's more likely to be the unit. |

Hey guys. So it turns out that when I opened the headlight (the one on the right side, which was low), there was a piece of broken plastic in the inside of the headlight. I have used some insuline caps (only thing that I had around the kitchen that could fit underneath the high beam reflector), and it worked well. Too sad, that 1 day after I opened the headlight, fixed it, cleaned it, painted the silver plastic cover in black....... some dork crashed into my car and broken the headlight and half of the hood (which I have already "fixed"). So I have a new headlight, and it has the same problem. My car has manual adjusting, no wires at all, excluding for the ones that go to the bulbs But anyway, yeah. In the case that someone else has the same problem, the solution is opening the headlight (10 minutes at 100ÂșC in the oven) and placing any kind of strong like soviets plastic underneath whatever you want to be higher. It worked for me. Also, there's no problem with the chassis or brackets. I have checked with other 2 323F owners that I know, and we all have the same exact things, same exact sizes and there's no tilt into any metal bracket or anything. Cheers
