L300 Headlight Tilt - Way to Adjust?

Post by dr_airtime »

I've got an L300 1991 Chamonix in Vancouver I've seen some loose references on Delica.ca and some Aussie/UK forums that there may be a way to adjust the tilt of the headlights? I swear mine have dropped down over the 4 years i've owned my Van.

I'm only posting here after a thorough search of Delica.ca as i couldn't find the answer!

For reference I've taken out both the left and right headlight assemblies completely before to change headlight bulbs. I haven't looked for any tilt screws but maybe if there are any they are internal inside the headlight assembly?

Thanks in advance for your help! FYI - see my post later this week on my L400-seats-in-a-L300 rear set conversion. It's actually simpler than I thought. Van in with Classic Customs in Vancouver today to get it done. Should be simple upgrade that results in a retractable bed.

Sounds like you need to download the workshop manual http://www.delica.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=17809 ;-)

Here's the relevant entry though:

Thanks Growlerbeanz. Still not clear which screws are "adjusting screws" from the manual (typical - are these the headlight body screws or are their screws on the inside of the body??) but I'll figure it out I basically just need to confirm there is a way to do it.

I'll return favor with pics of my L400 seat-in-L300 niche conversion in a new days but Van not with me as wouldn't start! I'll do another post on this.

It's the screws with the big arrows in the diagrams. They're 10mm hexagonal head screws with a phillips slot in the end. They're tricky to see if you have the brush bar on, but the plastic surround is cut out around them. one screw adjusts up and down, the other side to side.
