Sonar/Schmpa/ABC Design Ltd's new angel eyes and adjustment

[LEE69]

 

[v-g]

When I think of it, some new cars have bi-xenon and can turn in when turning.

Of course not the same as this would have been...

 

[v-g]

I removed the headlights and removed the levelling motors, put the motors back on again and put everything back together.

I can somehow now use the adjuster wheels, but not while they're (the headlights, that is) on the car. Strange.

 

[LEE69]

That defies logic as they are a sealed unit.

I wonder what I said to get you to say that?

Sealed? Yeah, but not where the motor and adjuster screws are.

 

[UncleFester]

Same as the stock headlights.

 

[LEE69]

If you leave the motor out can they be adjusted then?
I guess no word from the supplier yet?

 

[RobDon]

No email back from ABC no.

 

[v-g]

I've no idea why they works the way they do.
The adjustment will have to be done by taking them on and off the car. Not very accurate.

 

[LEE69]

Crap design if they don't line up when on the car, and a right ball ache to keep taking them of to adjust.
My sonar were a lot different to that.

The arrows point at what?

Crap design, I don't know. My car is old, they might align up on newer cars.

 

[LEE69]

Two little screws nothing to to with alignment.

That's done by the 4 screws you can see and each lens was adjusted separately, not in tandem like the Leon is.

Shouldn't make odd tbh, unfit for use imho.

 

[v-g]

A few have asked about the wiring of the halos.

This is how I did it. There's probably a better way.

Edit: I see now that this is not a very good pic. It seems like the red wire has something to do with it and you can't see the other black from the w5w.

...and like it is on the ones I've now.

LOL all you like!

 

[LEE69]

So can you get them legal height now, using the on/off method?

It seems like it, yes. They're roughly aligned at the moment.
