S-type headlights pointed down???
Seems like at least one of the sides of car's headlights are pointed down. I asked the place I bought it from to see if they could adjust. They said they could only do so much and that I'd have to go to Jaguar. Seems ridiculous to me. Essentially though, I need to use my brights to see anything when driving.
Thoughts on how to fix? And while we're at it, thoughts on replacing lights ins general? I'm guessing mine are all original factory. I'd love better if I'm gonna goof around in there.
Thanks,
Matt

Matt, we have no idea what sort of S Type you have and what type of headlights. You need to provide the type, year of the car and the type of headlights. Or better still a photo.
Either way, sounds like yours have broken away and adjustment is now not possible. Depending on how bad they are, they are likely repairable but they need to be pulled apart. Plenty of posts on this.
Do not resort to the 'screw' fix.

xenons have auto level and manual adjusters. you can mess with auto level if you unplug it while the car’s running but it will fix itself eventually
manual adjusters are always broken, self tapper and problem solved

xalty when I had my 2005 STR the head lights were disconnected with the car powered up because of an accident. The body shop spent 3 days trying to get the start up sweep up and down working. They finally had to take it to the Jaguar dealer and they used SDD to reset things.
You are saying just give the car some time and that will reset by itself? Any idea how long it takes?
