well maxxyjazz,
I park on level`ish ground about 20 metres away from a facing the headlights wall.
if you have one good aimed headlight, use that as a marker,
then re align the out of setting one.
a quick check is stand in front of each headlight at a time then noticing how the beams look (focus) to each other with a bit of a gap in between each pattern of light.
do it on dipped bean though, then check the main beam.
oh, it dont work on a sunny day, so as its cold and bleak out, should be just fine mate.
good luck.

ps, are you sure you replaced the new bulb correctly - the 3 prongs in the correct offsett holes in headlight ??

Cheers fella, I'll have shot at that later. Even though its freezing here. It's not the easiest way to change a bulb is it? Especially when the screw rust.

At the risk of sounding stupid, I thought the bulbs only went in one way, so I just pushed them in and checked to see if they worked.
 
can anyone give me tips on how to post a forum on here please, im new here, got lots to ask but dont know where to post. any advice would be welcomed

Well not only am I a newbie here, but last week I traded my Jag for a new disco. So yesterday I fitted the dog / cargo guard bought on ebay for just over £50 and a tow bar storage bracket, again from ebay.

Am I a happy boy or what:)

Good for you Nigel! now go over to the introduce yourself section and introduce yourself ( coz we're all nosey buggers) then more importantly go to the discovery section and put up pics of your disco :D
