Thanks.
I found those adjusters myself. Half turn up-down adjuster screw makes detecable difference, 2-3 turns makes huge movement in beam. Now they're good.
I'll see how it works that way. If it lo ... |

No, Freelender's xenons do not that up-down movement after every start. I've had four cars with xenons and two of them did that.

Hi all,
Problem with original xenon headlights.
They're "dipped", pointing low and not levelling themselves at all.

Back to this once more.
Cap cleaning result was significant.
There still was vacuum in tank when I opened the cap, but maybe 1/3 compared before, or even less.
