Hi all,
I recently bought a pair of second hand aftermarket headlights for my 2009 Ibiza but have been struggling with fitting the electric motors for height adjustment as the seller i bought them from had lost the instructions. Can anyone with aftermarket headlights give me some advice with regards to this as the headlight beams are in dire need of adjusting.

Many thanks

I bought some Depo headlights for my VW Bora last year, and the range control units just came straight out of the OEM lights and fitted into the Depo ones with no problems.

Not wishing to teach you to suck eggs, but are you aware that the headlights are manually adjustable with 2 x hex screws each - one for height / vertical adjustment and one for horizontal adjustment? You should be able to get a good beam pattern with these. The motors are only there to adjust if for example you have a boot-load of concrete and the front of the car is pointing towards the sky.
