Default Headlight Problem.

I tried raising my headlights bc i just got HID's put in. I drive a DC. I tried to raise them by turning the things in the back, but they dont raise. Is this because of the actual headlight itself is messed up?

How far were you parked to the wall? If you were within a decent distance and sort of close, they won't move much becuase in the long run they would be much higher or much lower. Try poinging them at a big building from the parking lot and see where they cut off there.

So i tried to aim my headlights up today again, and found out my pass. headlight wont aim up. It aims to the ground while my drivers side is the one that is normal or pointing up.



Hes standing where the pass. side light sits and aims.


Passenger Side.


Drivers Side.

So is the whole headlamp on the right side messed up? and needs to be replaced?

did you use an hid kit for a DC? 9006 bulb bases? Or, did you rig up some different base bulbs? Try adjusting the light front the mounting points...4 ten millimeter bolt heads... loosen all 4 bolts and try to tilt the headlamp up.

yeah, the bulbs are 9006 bulbs, ill try tilting the lenses tomorrow. Thanks for the input.


EDIT: Where exactly are the bolts? I looked and i didnt see any but the screws to adjust the lights?

For each headlight there are two on the top of the radiator support, and then two lower bolts on the radiator support by the front frame rails.
