Went out to change the side light bulb that had gone on my car today. It turned out to be a badger to do due to everything been in the way (PAS resovior etc) so i took the headlight out to do it. Now i have put it back in and the beam looks a bit wonky

is it maybe just clipped in wrong or do you have to get the beam lined up or something if so how

cheers Gav

You probably pulled the alignment out of focus when you pulled the plugs off the back, to re-align it properly you'll need a alignment tester maybe ask a garage to do it for you?
Or park the car up to a plain wall at night, put your dip beam on and make sure you set the level to 0.
You'll see a pattern that goes like this:
\____
On the headlight you took out you'll have to adjust it to match the other headlights pattern. This is on the assumption that the other headlights pattern is correct.
To adjust there is a hole in the crossmember above the headlight. If you look into it you'll see a phillips screw, i forget which way it is but turn it and you'll see the pattern go either up or down.
If the pattern seems really weird then check the headlight clip at the back, if it's not clipped in the headlight will be loose and hanging down.
Hope that helps :s
