Pointless, you need the adjustor motors fitted as they control the up / down position of the reflector.
Without the motor fitted in place correctly the reflector will just move about.

#18: Re: Masked valeo alignment Author: Mike_XS, Location: SouthamptonPosted: Mon Mar 07, 2011 1:45 pm ---- I just got in a mates car who's lights had recently been leveled by a garage and leveled mine to a similar point.
#19: Re: Masked valeo alignment Author: Davels, Location: NorfolkPosted: Mon Mar 07, 2011 2:09 pm ---- I recently got mine done at a MOT station for a few beers however when I was driving on a dark road my passenger side was a good foot lower and shined directly in front of the bumper. My drivers side seemed fine.
Also where the two beams met there was a dark spot around a foot square in front of the car. I ended up adjusting my passenger side up myself so the beam is straight across and actually lowered my drivers side slightly.
I don't know what im going to do come MOT time if the alignment was right. I can't see how it was tho. Every other beam pattern i've seen aligned is straight across right to left without massive gaps and a drop on the left.
My passneger side now just catches the bottom edge of road signs where the lens flicks up
