On my 206 HDI 1.4 from 2002 each headlight has 2 adjustment wheels. The upper one is used for the vertical, the lower one! Nothing moves, what is this one for. Thank you.

Thanks for this tutorial, otherwise I would have racked my brains and spent more time. PS, I changed my left headlight on a 206, 1.4l HDi from 2005.

The question is whether the setting is different for H4 bulbs?

Thank you for your attention
