Nope no idea is there a kwitfit near you, price around and see what you get, look up the Yellow Pages as well.

Easy to do yourself if you know the measurement and that, otherwise it maybe a bit dodgy.

There is a Kwik-Fit in Blanchardstown/Coolmine, near Power City.

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't fail you over the lights.
They would tell you to go get them done,
so off you go, get them aligned, bring it back and show them.
If they don't have to use any equipment to re-check it(light alignment doesn't need equipment), then you don't have to pay anything.

This happened my mothers friend when my mother was getting hers done.

Maybe they are different in Dublinia, but that's how it is in KK.

So you could just chance it, unless you are sure yourself that they aren't properly aligned.

My car failed due to headlight alignment. Retest cost 27.50euro. They need to use the machine again to check they have been correctly aligned hence the fee.

Advance Pitstop were charging 25euro to get it done. I got a backstreet mechanic to do it for 10euro.

The can and do fail over mis-aligned headlamps (I found out in my test despite them supposedly being done by the dealer the day before!)
If you fail over headlamps being misaligned then you are charged a re-test fee.
