Headlights
Just wondering how others have aligned their headlights?
I am going to get it MOT'd before the SVA so is is best to make sure they are correct then?

Get them roughly right against a wall or garage door then fiddle with them at the MOT centre.
Even though I did this I had to do another minor adjustment at SVA.

Mark out the beam pattern of your typical road car and copy this. That's what we did and the MOT guy commented as to how we did it.

Stick tintops lights on garage door and mark out top of beam with some tape. Also mark position of front wheels on drive. Then basically replicate
position of lights on Indy to those on garage door. Job done.

don't the headlights of your "normal" car and your seven have to be at the same height for this to work?

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Seriously though, find a good bit of ground with a straight wall. Use a tape measure to read the height of the centre of the headlamp, adjust the
headlamp to get the beam 2" less than the lens centre height at a distance of 10' away
