Default WF Festiva Headlight adjustment

Hi all,
Stupid question perhaps but I was simply wondering whether the Horizontal position of the headlights can be adjusted?

I have found the Vertical adjuster, (easy, as it's on Top of the assembly) ... just can't easily see and other adjusters.

Thanks, in advance

Hi and thanks for that.

To be honest, it was Clearly a case of "Not seeing the Forest, for the Trees",..
I have NO idea How I 'missed' the 2nd (L to R) adjustment Screw,... ?? ... LOL

Anyway, as it turns out, the 'Adjusters' on the 1999 WF, are NOT Exactly as suggested in that image and are as Shown in the attached Images, which may be helpful for other members, who initially could Not see the 'Bleedingly obvious',..

Mind you, that said,.. I AM going to have to make a 2nd more concentrated effort to Check the Horizontal Alignment, as whilst the Up & Down adjuster is fairly 'Coarse', the L to R, is very Loose and seems to require MANY turns to see even Minimal movement, so is something I will re-visit, when I have the time and can set things up better, with 'Markers' on a wall etc








Cheers

Cool, mine's a Trio S 'Demon' version, with the factory alloys.

At the time of purchase, it was NOT what I was expressly looking for but was, I have to say, ... an absolute Bargain !!

Purchased in 2014, with a 186,000 on it, for $550.00

Whilst I have never been impressed with the Seats,.. it has been an extremely reliable and quite decent vehicle
