........ His headlights are "off."

Is there an easy way adjust the beam level/orientation of the headlight? Or do you have to take it to the "stealer" to get it done?

 

you can adjust them but its a PITA

the left side is supposed to lower, you know that right?

 

mine aren't even either. like nishant said my left headlight is a little lower

its supposed to be that way. its law so you don't blind on coming traffic

but that doesn't mean you can raise both a lil like me

 

HID's are crazy, i don't have that straight beam across

it looks like this ---------_________ LOL

 

what thaaa

 

i'll take pictures later. they do look off alignment though

 

i'll take a look

 

thats how they are supposed to be....the drivers side is lower then the passenger side.... just like nishant said... it's like that to not blind on comming traffic...

 

I had my lights taken out before. My passenger side is lower. We can adjust them at our mini mod day.

i don't think he will be coming to our mini mod day, he's in kansas

 

My friend said it is his passenger one as well ........ not the driver.

The car was in an accident more than likely from the previous owner, so that is what we suspect on it. They probably replaced the front or something and didn't adjust the lights correctly.

So what exactly is involved in adjusting them? I've done it easily on other cars.

 

how are they off? like which is higher

we're adjusting mine too...need to raise mine

 

I saw instructions how somewhere. Something like park 25ft away from wall and the light beam should be 2ft high on the wall. I think not sure.

i have the service manual, we can look it up

 

I know "how" to do it .... like I said, I've done it on other cars ........

Just don't know what is involved in getting to the adjustment screws/settings. That's why I was trying to see if anyone here has done it and what they did to do it.

 

instructions as per service manual:

1. clean the outer lens so that you can see the center of the headlights
2. park the vehicle 25ft away from a wall or a screen
3. open the hood
4. turn the low beams on
5. meausre from ground to center of headlight. the low beam reflection on the wall should be 2.1 inches below this height
6. if necessary, adjust headlights vertically by turning the vertical adjuster (look near the bulb for this). from the pictures, it looks like they use a philips head screwdriver

 

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for!
