Bi Zenon not adjustable - Not true, you can raise/lower the beam just the same as conventional headlights
There are two adjusting screws on the rear of each light unit Never get mad - get even !!

Beanie - thanks.
So presumably if my beam is too low, then tough luck as I can't lift it with a screw? 08 Plate Disco 3 HSE TDV6 Auto
