    I think mine are aimed OK. I'm on stock ride height with a slight list to the drivers side. :donut1:
    I thought your MINI may have needed that adjustment.

    Yup, found the screws, turned them, nothing happened - they just seem to spin freely. Doesn't really matter anyway, I was just experimenting. Raising the vertical a little had the desired effect.

    ^^^Interesting, I turned mine and the cut-off pattern started to move horizontal, I returned the pattern and re-inserted the cover.... Then adjusted my vertical pattern as per the diagram....

    **UPDATE on IE Plates

    Ok I'm going to retract my previous statement that my IE plates were causing premature tire wear. I just got two new front tires as well as an alignment and the shop said I was WAAAAYYYY out of alignment. Anyways, the car drives much better now should be much better. I'm going to get another set for my wifes forthcoming convertible. :biggrin5:

    Would someone mind posting pictures of both the adjustment (horizontal/vertical) screws on the headlights?

    Hi, here it is.

    On mine the horizontal screw, H was hidden under a plastic plug that had to be removed for access.
