thats out of an astra but yeah its similar

then if that doesnt go low enough you will have to go under the bonnet and there is a small black adjuster in the back of the headlight

there's an adjuster on the back of the motor that allows you to lift it up or dip it just turn it. Although i'd recommend taking it to a garage so they can adjust it properley
