Headlight dip beam - changing to UK/IRL setting

[ChrisH Kerry]

My 1150 dip beam is set for mainland Europe - dipped beam pattern is incorrect and is lighting more of the right hand side of the road. I know there is a way to set it for driving on the left and I loosened the clamp screw and tried to move the small plastic prong but it didn't want to. Leaving it is just annoying as the lights are poor enough without being incorrectly set. Don't want to break the headlamp holder so any advice?

Ive had same problem, they can get a bit stiff to turn to change the beam angle. There is another clamp at base of the light fitting, try losening that as well, spray in a bit of Wd40. Turn the lamp fitting clockwise (as if facing forward) to bring the light beam up on the kerb side (left) until the plastic pegs touch. Don't do it by levering the pegs - they can easily break !
Hope that helps !?

Thanks - I'll try loosening the other clamp and give it a bit of WD40. I had a bit of a push at the peg with a screwdriver and thought it looked like it would be happy to break off, so left it!
