Hi Syncopator. Welcome on board, I'm new too. I know thisis unlikely to be your problembut....when I changed a headlamp bulb a while ago I had the same problem, but on checking, the bulb holder hadn't re-seated properly, and nothing would compensate for that amount of variation in the beamdirection. I just kept fiddling with the bulb holder until it felt more secure, and it seated OK. Problem was solved. It could be worth just trying that, maybe take the bulb out and start again.

Hi again. Just seen your post, and glad you got the problem sorted. I can't quite believe that I've actually said something useful on this site already!! I expected you to come back with something like..."Oh sure! thanks for nothing birdbrain!" I guess the idea of just sharing our own experiences is what this is all about. Glad to have helped on this occasion!

Peter
