you should be able to adjust the headlights so they point up more.lift the bonnet up and you should see a adjuster.best doing it close to a wall or something.wind the adjuster in to lift the lights

That switch is to compensate for there being weight in the REAR of the car, so they point the dipped beam lower as you move it from 0 to 3. This adjuster thing under the bonnet - does anyone know if it's there on a Corsa B?

This would be handy to know. Since I've been lowered 60mm my viability had been crap at night, even with the dipped beams aimed high at 0.
Althought I've never noticed an adjuster, unless it's staring me right in the face

Yes you can adjust them.

Open your bonnet, and above the headlights on the front bar you'll see holes going down to the headlight. Stick a phillips screwdriver down there and turn turn turn Dunno if it works on standard headlights, but works on the Euro ones.

Ah right cheers Daimo, I see what u mean now. There's a screw on the headlight thru the larger of the 2 holes.
I'll try it once it's dark to see if it works
