i need to aim my head lights badly and the only way ive ever aimed headlights was with the screw next to the headlight, ive never aimed a civic before. can any one explain where the screw or whatever is to aim them or show pics, thanks

 

im pretty sure there is the same screw, not sure where it is though, i would also like to know, as my lights are pointing low as hell

 

i have tried to aim mine but they always just shoot back at the ground after i drive for a while

 

then u should know where the screw is right?

 

ok i asked my friend and for u guys that dont know, its 4 bolts not screws, 2 on each side behind the headlight. one is for horizontal and one is for vertical. thanks anyways guys

 

any one know the "spec" of aiming headlights? how far and high to shoot the beam?

 

when your aiming the headlights you should pull up to a wall and use tape to mark the hotspots..... back up about 50-100 ft and then adjust the headlights until they are at or slightly below where the tape marks are .... i have to do this tonight so i will post some pics later on ... basically there are screw hole for a phillips head screw driver that you can use for minute adjustment (i think thats how you spell that lol)

Or you can use the bolts on the back of the headlights for more drastic adjustments... not really sure how to explain this any better ... if anyone else thinks this is wrong just say so ... i know im not always right on **** like this ... just trying to hel....


Goood luck peoples

 

this is how to aim them, your only suppose to be 25ft away.

finially thanks god, finially. everytime i ask that question people tell me about the screws and yells at me.

 

thats cuz on most cars there are screws, thats what i was looking for

 

so its not those little "gears" in the holes?

 

yea it is, if its the ones that are connected to the 8mm bolt behind the light

That is confusing as hell.

 

not really

+ o +
(c) (v) (c)
b------------------------b

the c is the middle of each light, the v is the center of the car. b-b line is 3 inches below the c-c. so to aim it has to be on the b line and with in 2 inches horizontally of the c

 

Thanks this realy helps. now i can adjust my head lights for a change.

 

is this the same for EK?

 

make sure u adjust them on a flat surface and not a hill
