Another quick one, the car has the standard "High Performance" LED light pack, definitely not the ILS, there's no "dance" on start up or auto high beam. Not normally a problem, but the beam seams a bit low. I've tweaked many cars, so I used a nice, flat bit of a small industrial estate near me with a good wall.

Found the two white adjusters, turned them clockwise, nothing! No movement on the lights at all. I can see the screw turning and the crossbar turning, but nothing even after a couple of turns. I've had I where one light had broken it's internal adjuster (Rover 75), but never two.

Is it that i just wasn't putting enough turns in? Are these prone to going boobs up?
I assume these have self-leveling lights, i have a rear arm break on my other car that dropped the lights, but they could still be adjusted until it was fitted, but could they be at the highest already?

Any pointers helpful chaps.
