Headlights re-aiming left/right

Hello fanatics, still driving topless here in Belgium Europe although fall is kicking in!

I only have a problem with adjusting the headlights. I’m able to adjust the positions up & down through the screws just below the spear grill on the inboard edge of the headlamp assembly. Unfortunately one of the lights is shining too much outwards and this needs to be adjusted (so adjustment left/right). According to the owners manual I have to check the service manual, which unfortunatly I don’t have. Could someone send me a copy of the page of the service manual by email regarding these adjustments? Or a good and clear description of the process will also do.

Thanx in advance and sunny greetings from Belgium,

Gossi

You might have to shim one, or more, of the mounting points, then readjust the vertical. Good luck.

back when I was in high school, my Peugeot had inserts in the sockets to allow re-aiming from right side of the road to left side of the road driving. I have not looked at ours. I can't imagine the French being more inventive than our GM engineers.
