Default adjust headlight

I need to adjust my headlights on my 05 ex and the only way i can adjust them now moves it either right or left and i need to move it down some. Any ideas?

easiest way is to take it to your local Honda dealership and they do it for close to nothing they can even show you how to do it and then you can post it and let me know as well. but if you have a hard time seeing at night let me know.

ill try to take pictures but there are two adjustment screws on the back of your headlight. i learned to aim your lights at night so you can see them and be about 6 feet from a wall (i use the garage door) and make them level about 4 feet off the ground (I think).

no **** sherlock. if he thought about taking it to the dealership, he wouldnt have posted on HT. why dont YOU take it to the dealership and show US how to do it.

as for height adjustment, try to aim it just below trunk level of a regular sedan or coupe.
my bixenon retrofits are leveled there and you get great coverage.

On the 01-03 cars, sedans had up/down left/right adjustment. Coupes only had adjustment in only one axis (I can't remember which). Dunno if this is the case for 04-05.

my 03 coupe can move it up and down. Up and down is always built into headlights. If theyre lopsided, you wont pass state safety inspections when you get them. im just guessing hes putting the hex wrench in at the wrong angle
