Professional Headlight Realignment
We can realign almost 100% of all types of headlight which
is usually much cheaper than buying replacements.
Headlamp Realignment for the Spanish ITV Import Test
At Car Registrations Spain, our in-house technicians specialise in headlamp realignment for UK right hand drive vehicles. We can realign virtually all types of UK headlights for European use and, most importantly, help ensure that your vehicle is ready to pass the Spanish ITV import test.
Replacing complete headlamp units can often be extremely expensive. In many cases, realignment is a far more cost-effective solution and allows you to keep your original lights while making them suitable for use in Spain.
Reflector Beam Headlamps
Reflector beam headlamps are usually concave units with a visible central bulb. The beam pattern is created by the shape of the reflector, which means these lights are often more complex to adjust correctly for European driving.
Standard UK right hand drive headlights will not pass the Spanish ITV import test if the dipped beam pattern is directed incorrectly, so realignment or replacement is necessary.
We are able to realign virtually all reflector beam headlights, with prices starting from €90 per unit.
Projector Beam Headlamps
Projector beam headlights are typically identified by their convex lens, often around the size of a tennis ball. In this style of headlamp, the bulb itself is usually not visible, as the beam pattern is formed behind the lens.
We can adjust all projector beam headlights, with prices starting from €120 per unit. Additional discounts are available for our import customers.
LED Headlamps
LED headlamps are commonly fitted to modern, high-specification vehicles and can be extremely expensive to replace, often costing well over £1,000 per unit.
While many manufacturers do not offer a realignment solution for these units, we can realign many LED headlamps in our workshop, with prices starting from €300 per unit.
Xenon and Bi-Xenon Headlamps
Both Xenon and Bi-Xenon headlights can be realigned in our workshop to help ensure your vehicle passes the Spanish ITV import test first time.
Once realigned, the headlights can remain suitable for use in both Europe and the UK. Typical prices for this type of headlamp start at around €90 per unit.
Halogen Headlamps
Virtually all types of halogen headlamps can be realigned at our workshop at a cost far lower than replacing them with new or even second-hand units.
An additional advantage is that, once realigned, the headlamps can remain legal for use in both Europe and the UK. Prices for halogen headlamp realignment start from around €90 per unit.
Low Beam Headlamps
Many newer UK vehicles are fitted with low beam headlights. Although this type of light may not always dazzle oncoming traffic when driven abroad, it will generally still fail the Spanish import test if the beam pattern is not compliant.
These units will usually need to be replaced or professionally realigned. We can realign low beam headlights for all vehicle models using modern precision methods, with prices starting from €120 per unit.
Why Headlamp Realignment Matters
One of the most common reasons for failure at an ITV import test is an incorrect headlamp beam pattern. UK right hand drive vehicles are designed for driving on the left, so their dipped beam pattern is usually unsuitable for Spanish roads unless the lights are correctly adjusted.
Professional realignment can often save a considerable amount compared with replacing complete headlamp units, particularly on modern vehicles where replacement costs can be very high.
