MG MGF Technical - TF headlight units adjustment

Seen Rob's article on the TF headlamp converter, but not this!
TF W/shop manual seems to say the two adjusters do L-R and Up-Down each side. But mine both do Up-Down. Is this right?
Jerry Herbert

Yes, they'll both do up/down Jerry. But scew them both in/out, and you'll get the desired L/R adjustment. :o)
Rob Bell

Eh!!! Don't understand, please elaborate for my poor old brain!
Jerry Herbert

They have to be wound in (or out) together to make the unit pivot around the latteral mounted ball joint (hope that makes more sense Jerry!) - it's a similar set up to the MGF head lamps - of which some images can be seen here: http://www.mgf.ultimatemg.com/group2/lighting/F_lamp_disassemble.htm
