Sorrry I went off line for somedays.

I still need help with my lights not able to produce meaningfull beam at both high and low beam. One senior memeber mentioned something about vaccuum. How do I get to this and rectfy the same. My adjuster wheel is not seemingly working either what could be my problem and how to solve it. Is it beyond DIY

if the beam adjuster is not working then its likely that the vacuum hose pipes are disconnected somewhere along the line, either in the rotary switch itself (behind the dashboard) or on the rear side of the front lights, there should be two vacuum pipes going into each light as far as I remember, if any of them are loose or detached or broken then the lights will not be moveable by that switch,

so check the pipes first to see that they are all attached ok
