Hello everyone, I just got some new headlights, but they're aiming to the floor, how can i aim them higher, they don't have the adjusters.

 

Replace them with OEM. You're welcome.

 

Probably help to post what car they're on.........

*edit* And if they are for the Accord, yes they do have the adjustment *****.

 

did you buy them off ebay? do they say DOT on the lens? my guess is they are not real depot lights if they truely don't have an adjustment ****. i have seen plenty of knock-off "depot" head lights for sale on ebay that are not even street legal because they are not DOT approved. i'm not sure but some of those might not have the adjustment.

make, model, and year of car, and pics of the headlights would probably help us give you more help.

 

They are for a 1996 Honda Accord, and no they don't say DOT, or have the adjusters, my headlights were broken, so I replaced them with these. Can you post pictures of your DEPO headlights so I can see where they adjust?

 

i don't think that those are genuine DEPO headlights. mine are still the factory headlights. i believe they are stanley (cant remember if stanley is only the factory ones for JDM or if that goes for USDM also. i believe the adjustment goes in the hole to the bottom left of the both the high and low beam (in the picture) the ones that have a black ring around the hole. do you still have your old headlights? if so compare them and you should see where they go. i'm thinking you may have to remove the adjustment bolts from the old headlights and install them on the new ones.

BTW if you live somewhere that you have to pass inspections you may fail because your headlights are not DOT approved meaning that they are not really street legal. will you get pulled over for this? probably not, but it is possible that you could get a ticket if a cop noticed

EDIT: i just looked at mine quick while i was smoking, they are stanley. but the problem remains the same. if you don't have the bolts that hold the bottom of the light out they will point down.

 

*sigh*



These are the adjustment *****, same as JDM lenses. Stick a phillips screw driver in the U shaped opening on top of them and twist left or right.

DEPO to my knowledge is not DOT approved regardless of what they say. If they say DEPO on the lenses then you have legitimate ones.

 

Thanks MuffinMan, I'll try that later on. As far as the lens goes, the headlights don't say it on the lens, they have it stenciled on the top of the lights. But the corners do.

 

my appologies for mis-information thank you for clearing things up MuffinMan

 

It's gravy.

I got a ticket for my DEPO fogs not having DOT on them.

So I know first hand haha.

 

oh i actually remember reading a thread about that i think. (i'm pretty sure it was you anyways, it was someone elses thread if i remember correctly)

i've said it before and i'll say it again i'm sure, glad to have you around here

 

I think those are the same ones I bough from T A S auto parts, if it is thanks for the Intel muffman.

The lighting sucks terribly while driving at night, I hope it's not to difficult aiming them while in the car.
