Default Google Eyed Headlights

Just noticed that the low beam on my newly purchased S-Type seem to be pointing in odd directions. The passenger side seems to be pointing downward to an unusual degree.

Is that a common problem with the head lights of S-Types?

Ok, thanks, started looking through it. But still have a question as to what happened or what broke? Back with my X-Type a plastic piece of the adjusters frequently broke allowing the headlight to move around. Can someone explain what actually breaks with the S-Type headlamp?

Thanks guys the video shows all:



Seems really easy to check/fix (at least compared to the headlight drooping problem in X-Types).
