Headlight adjustment screws?
I couldnt find anything on this.. I have the non-RS headlights and am wondering if they have any adjustment ability. (vertical or horizontal)
Some of my previous cars could do this, how bout the Camaro?

Yes it can. If you remove the front fascia you will see two screws coming out of the headlights. One vertical and one horizontal. Righty tighty lefty loosey

Have to remove the whole thing? (bumper etc?) I guess its all once piece. That seems an odd design for something that an average owner might need to adjust sometimes.

Yep whole front bumper. Its not that bad. Took me an hour and a half ish give or take. I don't think I would call adjusting the headlight orientation something that an average owner would do. More of a dealership thing I'd guess. That and unless you wrecked their shouldn't be a reason they went out of alignment to begin with.

Cool, mine seem to be aimed just a touch lower than I like. I'm hoping I can aim them up a small bit so they light the road ahead a bit better.

OK I might suggest taking your car to a automotive lighting shop. Just to be safe.

Unless you wrecked you car the headlights are set perfectly at the factory any adjustments you make will take them out of spec and open you up to possibly blinding someone coming at you and worse than that you could get ticketed or fail an inspection for them being improperly adjusted. Leave them alone.

If anyone reads this post in the future. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REMOVE THE FRONT BUMPER TO ADJUST VERTICAL ANGLE OF YOUR HEADLIGHTS.
Adjustment knob is behind the Headlight and uses a hex bolt. Looks like a white cone sticking straight up. Attached to headlight |
