    Adjusting Headlights

    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

    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?
