I've posted this question in the past but still have not found an answer. I wanted to know how I can go about aligning my headlights on a 2003 Accord Sedan. There aren't any direct screws that I see from the engine bay or underneath the car. If anyone can point me in the right direction or have a picture of the specific *****, please respond.

 

Why do you have to align head lights on 2003 accord?


if it has a warrenty i would let honda take care of this if there even is such a thing
?

 

The reason that I wanted to align my headlights was that after I installed Super White Bulbs (from SPP), they seem to point up too high. I see this line on the garage and it seems higher than it was with OEM bulbs. I've been high beamed by cars going in the opposite direction (i don't know if it's because these are bright and they think i'm driving on high beams or they are actually pointed up too high). Also, I don't even see a line on the ground in front of the car, almost like the lights are parallel to the ground. Any suggestions?

 

Open the hood, look at the black plastic shroud behind the headlights. There's a hole on each side, with a symbol like a curved double-ended arrow & "UP" & "DOWN". D'ya think maybe there's an adjustment screw down in that hole?

 

ive looked all over and i even had the assembly in my hand, never saw a screw

The screw is hidden, so you need to get a long Screwdriver to adjust the headlights.

http://www.v6performance.net had a thread about this.

 

anyone care to take a picture or already have one? i've looked and did not find anything...

 

Near each end of the hood prop-rod when it's down & clipped into place. Take a flashlight & look into that hole. At the right angle you'll see a couple teeth on the edge of a gear. You'll use a phillips screwdriver like a pinion to mesh with that gear. It looks like you can put the screwdriver in the wrong angle & it won't engage that gear.

 

I see it now. It even says Up/Down on both sides towards the inside of the car. I'm gonna fiddle around with the adjustments once it gets nice out cause the screw driver didn't seem to do much. thanks for all your help! If anyone wants a pic of the exact locations, i'll post it up for you.

 

Incorrect. Here is a proper video on where the actual adjustment screw is.
