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

[v-g]

Anyone fom UK bought ABC Design Ltd's new angel eyes with better halos and electric motors? (Please spare me the talk about chav.)

I fitted these (not the RHD version) and it's working out nice.

But the alignment is WAY off. The adjustment is very hard. Anyone experienced the same? If so, how did you manage to do the roughly adjustment?
Yes, I do know about the adjustment wheels. And yes, the lights are sitting as flush as they can.

Chav!!!! but in all honesty I think they look rather swish! No I dont really have anything constructive to say sorry

Are you sure that one of your adjusters isn't stuck, Vidar?

I had these make on my old one sonar iirc.

They have two adjusters with iirc a 10mm nut to adjust them with.
I did mine by trial and error, perceiver and you'll be ok.

And swish in that sentence means... (I'm still alien)

Smart/nice whatever you wanna call it

That's what I thought too Dave, but how can it be stuck? I have not taken them a part, so I don't know how the adjusting mechanism work. (To be honest, I've never had to adjust any headlights, ever.)

Just turn them and have a play, i had too.
I got no instructions, it was just trial and error mate

I started turning them yesterday and I would still be turning, if I didn't have to eat, sleep and work. They don't move any way, at all.

 

[LEE69]

Hopefully they are still connected to the lenses then mate

You tried clockwise and anti-clockwise?

Like I said, they don't move at all, so yes, they're still connected to the lenses.

I've tried clockwise and anti-clockwise and any other wise I can think of.

I've just mailed the German I bought them from, it'll be interesting to see what he says.

My German is Babel Fish-German, so I don't understand all that's been written about them on www.seat-leon.de.
I've searched for justieren (adjust) and justage (adjustment) and ausrichtung (alignment), und so weiter, und so weiter...

Email ABC Design - they must know: http://www.abcdesignltd.com/ContactUs.asp

(I've just emailed them now and asked how you adjust them!)

 

[LEE69]

You mean they physically don't move or they don't move the lenses when you turn them?
If the latter, sounds like they are faulty.

I hope you'll share the answer.

The latter, I think, if they don't need VERY many turns to turn.

They start adjusting the moment you turn the adjuster.
Does it move freely, or is there resistance?

I can't turn them with my fingers, if that answers the question.

 

[LEE69]

yeah there needs to be more resistance than that tbh, or you'll be going down the road and they will be self-adjusting

Self-adjusting, the new thing Xenon needs in addition to self-levelling and washers.
