hey guys, ima be lowering my car 2 inches and i dont know if i need to re-aim my headlights or not.. i know on the JDM headlights they have those adjusting screws to aim ur headlights up or down, left or right..

my question is this, do i have to re-aim my headlights after this drop to get maximum lighting? and does the usdm 3peice headlights have the adjustment screws?

 

well i dont think youll have to aim them, but think of it this way, the beams will only drop 2 inches, meaning you might lose 5 feet of visibility, but thats about a mile down the road

 

ya, i know, i want the maximum visibility of light i can get, cuz i dont exactly have good eye sight..

but anyone know if the lights are adjustable

not sure if the USDM headlights are adjustable, im sure they would have to be, but i know the one pieces are. ive adjusted them just messing around

 

shouldn't make much of a difference....but they are adjustable. all headlights are.

 

how? via screw or another method of shimming the headlight housing up or what?

the adjusting points are exactly
in the same place that the JDM are in...

 

it's very similar to the jdm ones but i think (don't qotue me on this) that you use a #2 philips screw driver and there are these little black holes in the metal headlight housing frame. You should be able to stick the scredriver down the hole and turn it on this little wheel that has the teeth on it.

 

ok guys, ima go check, ill be right back..

really? i just checked and i didnt find anything, can i do it while the headlights are still on the car? or do i have to take the headlight housing out and adjust it, sit it back in the car and see how it looks? if anyone has a pic of this, or can get one

 

I thin it's safe to say that all headlights are adjustable. To help you though, both USDM and JDM DA headlights definately are adjustable because I've had both and I've adjusted both. You use a philips head screw-driver and just look downward at the lights and you should be able to find the 2 or 3 adjusting screws.
