Hey, just one more thing :)

There is no turbo Miata, so the T is aftermarket, and installed on shop.

If that is recently done, it might be the reason for headlight
misalignment. Engine is tightly packed, so they likely disassembled a
lot when installing the turbo kit. Something went wrong on reassembly?
Either the bulbs or light frames...

Or, kit is done years ago, and misalignment came after the bulbs were
installed the wrong way... in some sloppy shop..?

Maybe not in Finland but it sure looks like factory stock.
Unless Shannon bought it used. I think I saw MazdaSpeed
on it some where.

Paul,
I did buy my Miata new and it is a Mazda speed turbo charged.

Petri,
Anymore pages on adjusting the NC beams?

Paul Lamar

Paul,
Detailed instructions are in repair manual. Cannot find that online for NC.

Seems that headlight adjustment is done by turning that screw at lamp
unit's outboard lower edge, as advised on that picture you got. (red arrow)

But the trouble seems to be that the engine is so tightly packed that it
is impossible to reach that adjustment from top. So, mudguard away...

That's why i suggested to check the proper alignment of halogen lamps
first :) at least high beams can be reached from top - so if the problem
lies there that would be the easiest to fix.

Cheers,
Petri
