Adjusting the Headlights?

Does anyone know how to aim/adjust the headlights? I hit a deer last summer and the body shop didn't direct the HID headlight exactly the same as the other side. The combined two beams used to have that nice defined straight line, and now it's a little lower on the repaired driver's side.

It is like that. The driver side headlight is always lower so you do not blind oncoming traffic.

Yeah, before the accident the line was completely solid and level. I had passengers comment on the odd look of the beam.

Has anyone had a chance to check their beam?

I keep mine solid and at about a 20 degree angle above the horizontal.



You can adjust them with any 10mm tool. Right behind the headlights are the level adjusters.

I had never paid attention before this post, but the RDX came with the dipped drivers beam, and the TL is solid/straight across. Hmm???
