Noticed last night the main beam on my '62 plate 28i is pointing too high, is this likely to be the module failed ??

It’s more likely to be the linkage connected to the suspension that’s malfunctioning, there’s pics on here showing how it should look if you use the search thingy :thumbsup:

Depends if the dipped position is in the right place to start with, the mains seem much higher on this car than any other car i have owned. Seems a lot of wasted light on my car lighting up the tops of the trees lining my local roads.

I’m sure my main beams aren’t overly high? :?

I have some Philips xtreme bulbs to fit, be interesting if beam pattern changes.
