Subject: How to adjust heatlight beams?
IP: Logged

Message:
My left beam it quite a bit higher than my right and its annoying to other drivers on the road so I want to lower it a little. I was looking yesterday and couldnt figure out where to adjust the angles of the lenses. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Look at the top middle i believe, between the headlamp and the fender, there should be a small torx screw, turning it counterclockwise lwrs clockwise raises.. if not at the top middle try bottom middle of lamp.

Mike,

I wish more people had the attitude you do. Again, driving to work this am in the twilight, some ricer behind me had 1 headlight shining right into my rear view mirror.

Thanks for being responsible.

They always wonder why I'm flipping'em off in my rear view.

Kev,I've seen taht torx screw your referring to. However it isnt accessable with a screwdriver. The gap between the fender and the headlight is too high.
Tex, thanks for the kind words. I knew it was high but had no idea till I drove my fiance's car in front of my truck last week. It was quite annoying.

Mike, be carefull.
I was trying to adjust mine as well. The torx screws aren't stainless steel and they are only a T-10 so the torx features are small and strip VERY easy.
Now my left light shines WAY to low. I'm not sure how to fix it now since the area they are in aren't easy to get to.
