It is a calibrating option aswell available with CLIP dealer tool.

Sadly i had to put some washers on the lower part of the headlight (stud) for now just to get it throught the MOT. not the best but will do for now. ;)

I think we all know how petty the mot examiners can be, I used to be one myself!! ;D
