Before I left and as part of the preparation I was looking at my manual for instruction on masking out the dip beam. In the manual it states, remove the light cowl and accuate a lever which alters the direction of the beam.
I quite liked the sound of this; seemed like a really good idea. When I came to do it I followed the instructions - remove the four front facing screws. As I was unscrewing them something didn't feel quite right. The screw heads were really soft and it took some effort, with a little burring, to unscrew them. As I was doing it I noticed that the actual lights themselves were becoming loose. This definitely didn't seem right.
I checked the manual again and it definitely said that the four front facing screws should be removed. I looked closer at the light assemble and noticed there were screws on top and below the light cowl. It was only when I'd removed this I realized that what the manual was suggesting wasn't correct.
Also, there was no lever underneath to alter the beam angle. I ended up spending about 2hrs trying to correct the mistake I'd made; the net result being the lights were stable again but certainly not set correctly. The screws were obviously for altering the orientation only...
I dare not mess with them too much again as they now have a tendency to pop out. I'm quite hacked off about this, and I've checked the manual again and again and I followed the instructions as stated.
I can only assume that the instructions relate to a later model??
Anyone else had a similar experience?
Cheers,
