[...]Please note that the beam pattern is wrong, since I had the bulbs adjusted accidentally for left hand drive and will need to fix that. I noted as such on the photos. I also did not have time to properly aim/align the two headlights to each other (up/down).
So I pulled them out and rotated them the other direction, to 6.5, which is on the OTHER SIDE of 7. The result? It is even worse than before. It continues to blind all oncoming traffic with a kick that is on the left and extends into the center and the pattern is pretty whacked. I am completely baffled (and pissed). Adjustment means having to unplug them, unscrew the heatsinks (with a zillion threads), then removing the boot, then removing the retainer clip, then the bulb, then getting seatsink grease on fingers, then using an allen key to loosen and then retighten two tiny bolts on each bulb, and doing it all in reverse again to re-install.
I think I will have to unplug one bulb and experiment on the other without the heatsink, risking overheating, but that way I can try a bunch of settings and leave the ring unbolted so I can turn it while watching what happens.
UPDATE: The correct neutral position is "8", NOT "7". When I did this, it corrected the horrible looking pattern you will see in the photo, below.
