Hello. I'm new to this board and new owner of a 2003 Honda Accord EX V6
I have two questions regarding the car that i couldn't find on any forums.
1) The Auto/Day Night Mirror that I have installed as an option. there are two buttons that change the zone #s and sometihng else. does anyone have info or can shed any light on what these buttons do or affect.
2) My first mod so far has been putting in SPP Precision Bulbs for the low-beam headlights. The trouble that I'm having is that the headlight beam level is very high. Ex: sitting in the car, the headlights focus ABOVE the car and are almost at eye level... none of the light seems to hit the ground. My question is, are there any ways to adjust the level of the headlights in a 2003 Accord? If so, please direct me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance

 

Bump! does anyone know?

 

were the original beams pointing the same way? on the 5th gens there is a long + screw that adjusts the headlamp. im not sure on 03's, but if you look a little bit you will figure it out

 

Yes, the original ones seemed to point down more. Perhaps it was an illusion because they were "yellower" as these are whitish. But now it seems to point just straight ahead. I was trying to look for a screw, but the headlights aren't even under the hood. would there be a screw somewhere by the bulb or something?
thanks for any/all replies

 

im almost positive there is something around the headlamp assembly that is a adjuster type screw that will aid in raising or lowering, but like i said im not a 100% familiar with your model. if you done have any luck call a dealer and ask them--if they try to get you into the dealer to do it--tell them to **** off!

 

heh. bad experience with the stealerships?
i have to go in for an oil change or whatever, anyway. just didn't feel like waiting because obviously it's not something i need a dealer to do for me. i'll try to look around again..
thanks for your help, jwogen1.

You need a long phillips (I think?) screwdriver, because you're probably turning a gear wheel down at the end of the hole.

You should go to a local mechanic and ask them, since its a new car.. you shouldn't mess with it

 

if you havent located how to adjust the headlamps or dont want to start wrenching things to find out, i would call or take it to a dealer

 

Do you not have the owners manual?

I've got the owner's manual. It says headlight aiming should be done by the dealer!?
