I feel like an idiot writing this but I need help with the most basic headlight maintenece. Aim.

I just recieved my new headlight assemblies. I installed them and they look great but my problem stems from the fact that I can't seem to aim the dam things. I don't see the giant screw on the assemblies like the oem ones had. It's not just the low beams either. It is the whole assembly that is out of alignment. The high beams run out about where the low beams do.

If anybody has this body style and these lights and can shed some light (no pun intended) on the subject, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

i need some help here guys

 

This is a common problem with those aftermarket (typically ebay) projectors.

If there are no aiming functions on the assembly, you are basically out of luck aiming them the proper way.

Sometimes you can get something to hold the bulb/harness a certain way so that it aligns better, but you will have to get creative.

This will always be a problem with cheap headlamp assemblies. You just get what you pay for unfortunately. My JDM style black housing headlight assemblies didn't come with aiming screws either (there are spots for them, but they don't do anything). Fortunately my lights retained their proper aim and they were only 50 bucks!

Good luck!

 

Thanks bwill. I got to looking at the mounting. I admit I was in a hurry when I put them in. Looking closer today, the mount holes at the top on the radiator mount are slotted slightly. I loosened the bolts and pushed them back as far as I could and the right one looks to be about in the right place now. Left one is still a little low. A drill will fix my aiming problems all together. Make the slots longer.

 

I am having a similar problem. I have some Anzo BLK/PROJ Headlights. they have caps on the back of them. when I take the caps off I cant figure out what that part of the light hooks up to.

 

if it is anything like mine it has h3s for lows and h1s for highs. they are pinned in the housing just like any other lamp with these bulbs. mine has pigtails away from the bulb that plug into my stock harness, since original eqip is 9006/9005.

 

have you tried using washers as spacers to try and get them close?
