Re: Aim JDM Headlights (SuShiBoiiii)
Aiming as in the adjustment for the headlights? I haven't seen a set of JDM headlights because I just bought some and they are on the way. But I imagine they can't be any different than the USDM headlights. In the corner of the head lamp there should be a phillips adjustment screw.
1)Begin by finding a level surface and a vertical garage door or wall. Park the vehicle close to the wall and mark the lights' horizontal centerlines with masking tape.
2)Next, mark the low beams' vertical centerlines. For better precision, stand behind the car at its center point and, looking through the back window, guide a helper in marking vertical dead center. Marking the vehicle's centerline is also helpful to verify side-to-side alignment.
3)Park the vehicle on a flat surface 25 feet away from the wall, pointing straight ahead. Use the lights' horizontal- and vertical-adjusting screws to position the low beams' intensity zones two inches below and to the right of the taped centerlines.
4)Adjustments can normally be made without removing any parts. Turning the top adjusting screw clockwise raises the beam and vice versa. Similarly, the side adjuster moves the beam left and right.
5)High beams' "zones" should be below the line and vertically centered in relation to the vehicle's centerline (not marked with tape in this example). Here, the right-side high beam needs to come inboard. When in doubt, be courteous and err your aim low and to the right.

JDM headlights do not have that screw, there are 2 ***** that use philips head screw drivers(hard to explain) and you can adjust the low and high beams each as themselves unlike the usdm headlights, that screw changes the height of the whole headlight.

Re: Aim JDM Headlights (AVcTcEoCrd)
5th Gen - I cannot seem to find the phillips screw to adjust the headlights horizontally but I have found the veritcal adjustment screw. Where is the horizontal adjustment screw? Is it behind the corner lights? It would be great if someone could post a picture.
