easiest way is to take in it into a garage and ask them, there's no-way-on earth that it would cost much to do it

Why did you have to remove the lights??

Have you reconnected the motorised headlight units.
Have you replaced the light units, if so have you refitted the level motors correctly..
Do they go up and down when you move the level control switch.
etc etc etc

yeh they go up and down but when at the '0' setting it is way too low - taking it to a garage will be ok but bet its a bumper off job again ??

Needed to get to the rear of the lights for the wiring so nothing to do with the headlights - basically needed to cut into the main beam wire - so needed to remove the headlights - think its something stupid like i have done the bolts up too tights which pulled the headlight down fractionally which then puts the beam out
