Default 2003 Accord Xenon Headlight

I got Eurodezign 6000k bulbs and i like how they look and everything. But i guess when i installed it, i made the light level go up, because it's as high as the high beams, and the other day when i was driving in the rain, it felt like i didn't have headlights on. I want to readjust it, but on the manual it says go to the dealer. I want to know if anyone knows how to adjust it without going to the dealer. I mean a DIY. It will be very helpful. Thanks

eurodezign? yikes.....might want to take that back for something spelled without a "z". also, look for something closer to 4800K for more usable light on the road and less rice effect.

try phillips ballasts and xenarc\osram bulbs.

i am assuming this is an aftermarket HID kit, if not.....take em back for some quality bulbs like stock ones (GE,Phillips) or sylvania silverstars.

but to answer your question.....headlight adjustment is usually done via a screw 8 or 10 mm? on the back of the housing. usually one for high and one for low beam.
also, your beam pattern will never be correct without the use of a proper D2S projector retrofit...again, assuming HID kit.

i'm thinking the bulbs he put in are halogens and not HID.

I was thinking more specific DIY. And it is halogen. I know it sux but it was worth the money.

The adjustment wheels on my '03 are near the ends of the radiator. There's a plastic shroud alongside the headlights, next to the radiator. There's a hole with a curved arrow & labeled "UP & "DOWN"... Use a long phillips screwdriver to engage the teeth of the adjuster down in the bottom of that hole.
