The Magna Headlamp FAQ:

[Pearl Cocoon]

ok update time
so rush has sent me a couple of clips i was missing as i busted one on the highbeams drivers side, and ill check my p.o.box today and grab them
thanks rush
i adjusted the normal lights last night as they were actually wound completely down from the previous owner
my god what a diff
i wound them all the way back up in the car park at work around midnight as we were leaving
followed a guy from my shift home who lives in the same suburb and could see the back of his head in his older ford ranger
asked him the next day how bright my lights were and he said he thought i had my highbeams on

so the next night i wound them down a bit more and followed another guy home who goes the same way and who actually hates bright headlights and will pull over and let you pass just so he doesnt have to see them behind him
asked him the next day and he said they were fine, i asked him if they were level and he said they looked level in his rear view mirror
so it seems a simple adjustment of the screws under the hood has fixed this along with some decent globes
so now all i need to do is pout the new clip on from rush and buy some new highbeam globes
i bought some when i bought normal headlight globes, put one highbeam one in and then snapped the spring on the other one
i then proceeded to put the globe that wouldnt fit due to the busted clip in a safe place
too safe its turned out, ive turned the whole house and shed upside down and cant for the life of me find this globe
so its back to supercheap auto tomorrow on the way to pic up engagement rings and look at another car
and sorry in advance coz its another ford
but cheers guys
gotta have decent headlights on country roads at night time

Just a thought, you should start a new post in the technical section on future light questions. This one is a FAQ and should only contain FAQs to do with lights.

Also, your manual or the net should have instructions on how the lights should be aimed (note if looking on US sites to mirror image the instructions). They can be adjusted for up/down as well as left/right. Your drivers side lights should be a little lower than the passenger side lights. Also, for better visibility, you can either get the Philips extreme or the Narva Blue Power (rebadged OSRAM NightBreakers as OSRAM don't sell car lights in Australia). These are 80% brighter than normal and 20% whiter than normal without affecting oncoming drivers and are completely 100% ADR approved as opposed to most blue ones.
