Headlight adjustment screws?

[strych9]

This should help, as instructed by the manual:

Figured out that private albums don't do much for posting.

Should work now.

I don't see where it says that one lamp should be lower than the other

I totally agree with this! To make things worst, lifted trucks with 50 or 70watt HID's and HID Fogs!!! FML!!!

If I use HID's I only go with 35watt and properly aiming them so they do not blind the hell out of people.

I just wanted to thank you strych9 for posting that instruction manual. I definitely could have looked in the manual myself, but this was easier :-)

I bought my car used and I was immediately blown away by the spread on the headlights, but it turns out my driver's side light was aimed WAY too high and I had a couple friends tell me after following them somewhere.

I went to school to be a technician (got a useless degree) and did it for a little over a year so I was pretty confident I could do it myself. That being said it will be much easier if you have a hex key drill bit, I don't and you have to turn the hex wrench quite a few times to see any real adjustment.

And was also probably extremely aggravating to oncoming traffic.

My 2105 driver side headlight is adjusted properly and the passenger points low and right (right out of the dealership). Great for parking, no so much for driving.

I am actually interested in why so many people are wanting to adjust their headlights though. I'm not condoning it, just curious to why you feel like you need to.

I bet you are the kind of guy who goes to the dealer for oil changes and tires. Maybe even to have the air put in just right, (that gets adjusted too once in awhile).

MY GOD, there are threads in here about adding Nitrous and turbos for Christ's sake.........do you post against that too for safety?

Let's be honest, the NON-RS HEADLIGHTS SUCK! They need a little help! I have the brightest bulbs you can get for Halogens and its nothing compared to when I drive my SRX that had projection headlights, LED DRL and nighttime running lights, (those could stand for headlights alone), and LED fog lights to the tune of 10K, (and yes I raised them all up a notch). You talk about SAFETY? Look at what the dame cross country truck driver assholes are getting away with. You get a suntan from a mile away when you are running the big road with them coming at from the other direction, or do you get out that much. This just struck a chord with me and reminded me why I don't come on here very much any more.

So you were saying?
