Hi all,
This is probably a stupid question, but bear with me ok.
I have had a 3" lift and just put on a set of 33" tyres. The problem I am having is.....................my head lights seem very dim. Do I need to adjust them down or am I just imagining things?
Cheers

Possible need to adjust down mate. We can have a look on the weekend when we catch up if you want?

X2... the faceted reflectors in the GU Headlamps are pretty sensitive to changes in the vehicle attitude

Your rig has prob gone up about 5 inches or so and the alignment will probably need to come down heaps

Hi all,
So how do you adjust the headlights on a 1999 GU?

Do they not have screw adjustments in the rear of the assembly?? Other than that, not sure old mate.

just had a thought and yes I know it doesn't happen very often!!!!!!! lmao, But isn't there anything in the workshop manual about headlight alignment, I know there is in the GQ manual.

Red arrow points to vertical (height) adjuster, blue arrow points to horizontal adjuster. Use a medium sized phillips head screw driver down from the top into the white cogs to adjust.
