Got a pair of Depo headlights, I've been told I need to level the headlights after fitting them?
I thought I had to just take them out and put Depos In then job done
Is this correct? I'm not changing the bulbs/getting HIDS just going from reg front lights to Depos

Wait until its a little darker park on a level ground in front of a clear wall. Turn your lights on and will see the level and should see the direction as well. Will find the guide as well for the distance

The chances of the depo's pointing at the same level as your standard ones are slim. If you haven't already fitted them then what I would do is park your car on level ground about a cars length from a wall, put your lights on and mark the wall where the beam ctr is, then fit your depo's, turn them on and adjust as necessary until they line up with the previous marks, not exact, but a good enough guide, I've managed to get a car to pass mot using this method!!

Be appx 20-25ft from a flat wall on level ground. Park up, turn lights on and mark the outline (flat and "flick"
With making tape. Then swap out for drops and adjust accordingly

Try doing this on a new Mini every time you close the bonnet headlights go out of level
