I have read where people adjusted their regular lights but mine are fine. My driving lights, the extra ones that go on the grill, are pointed WAY too low, like ten feet in front of me, what a help, not. I know that there is a bolt and nut that hold the light to the bracket and you can just turn the lights left and right for that adjustment but how do I adjust the up, down. Maybe I didn't loosen the nut enough for up down but before I go back out and try, has anyone adjusted there driving lights. Thanks in advance. :smile:

I adjusted the driving lights after reading one the "official" instructions by MINI that some people have posted. Everything is controlled by the nut underneath the driving light. If you loosen it enough, it moves in all directions. Just tighten it after you are done aiming them. The "official" instructions even tell you how to aim them correctly. Why my dealer didn't do this is beyond me, because mine were aimed too high.

thanks, letsmotor. I just went out and aimed them with the "offical" instructions. And, with car on, I had to take atleast a short little ride. I was raining, fun stuff. Lights are MUCH better. Thanks
