    Would it be handy enough to adjust the head lamps myself? Got a mechanic to fix one of my lights that was loose and failed on the NCT. He said it might be safer to go to a garage as it's a re test and I wouldn't want to fail on 1 small thing after doing all the other maintenance.

    Living near city center so could anyone recemmond somewhere. Got quoted €50 which I think is a bit high

    If it is a retest, then you should get them focused. After all they will be putting the car on their equipment to test for misalignment specifically.

    I've fitted lamps and focused them myself it's not hard

    I don't know anyone around Cork city centre but you could try yourself - youtube have several video on how to do it DIY.
