Default Newbe Guidesareus 05 'XK8 seat adjustment

Hi all,
I have recently purchased a one owner 05' XK8 convertible with 15,060 miles.
An issue that I have is that the seat headrests don't adjust. I have played with the adjustment lever on the seat bottom and can hear the motor working but headrest will not move. This is the same on either seat. Am I missing something? Is there another way to adjust these?
Another problem I noticed is that the drivers head light is slightly pointed down.
I notice a shadow toward the center of the road. Is this an easy adjustment?
Thanks in advance.

The headrest problem is a known issue on these cars. It is, however a fairly simply DIY fix. Just time consuming.

There is an excellent how-to video (thanks to Rev. Sam) at

Search the forum. There are several threads on headlight positioning. Do you have the self-leveling model? It may require a reset. Again, search the forum.
